So, what, we will always keep needing more hardware reqs? Sorry, that's BS. I can load Win98SE on my Thinkpad 380XD P2/233/96MB(MAX) and use Firefox 2.0 and browse the web just fine(other than flash/videos - Text is great) and type documents just fine with Wordpad.
If that makes you happy, then by all means....
What takes the resources is making the desktop "pretty" and having it "respond" to what you are doing. Personally, I want the program to run when I click it. I don't need windows to "grow" and "shrink" when I minimize/maximize. I want it to go away or come back. It's like hiding the taskbar. I have the buttons on both sides and when I click them, it dissappears. No animation. Other than the window redrawing to fill in the new space, it's fast. Doesn't matter if I'm on my Celeron E1200 overclocked to 3.2 Ghz or my Dual P3/Xeon 500Mhz Desktop.
Then there is always icewm and twm and .... which will have no problems on minimal/older hardware. It's not like you have to drive a Cadilac just because you can afford it/or not :^) You *do* have a choice, that's what linux stands for.
