Alex Dubec, Program Manager on the Office Computing Performance team posted about the system requirements of Office 2010 today.

In most cases, CPU and RAM requirements for Office 2010 are the same as for Office 2007, so if your computer meets the Office 2007 system requirements, you can run Office 2010. A graphics chipset will help boost the performance of certain features, as general rules:

* If your current computer can run Office 2007, it can run Office 2010.
* If you’re purchasing a new laptop or netbook, it can run Office 2010.
* If you have a computer with a multi-core processor, it can run Office 2010 even faster.
* If your computer is currently running Office 2003, it’s possible that it can run Office 2010 (check the requirements to be sure).

So the minimum requirements are:

• Intel Pentium III processor, 500 MHz
  
• 256 MB PC100 SDRAM
  
• Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3

Well they don't sell XP anymore so its not doing any damage I guess with the amount of marketshare XP has they kind of have to support it. Most of their customers use it.

Lots of people still use XP on their offices on old Pentium PCs.

It'll be awhile until XP's stain is washed off of the market forever. Just because they wont sell it anymore doesn't mean it's gone
