And besides, can I grab some old hardware out of my closet and install OSX on it? Seems like you've set the bar a lot higher for Vista.

OS X will run on any Mac made since the release of the first 233MHz iMac back in May of 1998... slowly, but it will run.

It ran quite nicely on my 1999 PowerBook Lombard (333MHz, 384M ram, 10G HD... until someone stole it last month.

I wouldn't install OS X.4 Tiger on either without putting in a larger hard drive but OS X.2.8 (Jaguar) runs fine on the 233 iMac and the laptop ran fine on 10.3.9 (Panther).

OS X.2.8 also runs quite nicely on a Beige 233MHz G3 tower introduced in November of 1997 so long as the Ram is above 128 Megabytes.

Is that sufficiently old?

I know you're intelligent enough not to miss the point, so you must be ignoring it.
