Uhm.. What? Who knows?

Phew....Maybe

Put it this way, they'd be wise to.

What does it matter... They probably have to test it oin many platforms to make sure there are no hardware issues...

Actually, I'd rather they developed it on Celerons.
That way, it would be guaranteed to run adequately on any modern system, allow people to upgrade their OS without needing to upgrade their hardware too.

On other note, what's it matter to you?

Because what you develop on has any real bearing on how the software runs?
Would you like models for use in game to be rendered on P100's?

Hay Mhz aint everything 😉

If it is developed on slower machines, then MS are obviously going to spend time tuning it, without being over-ambitious with features that are going to bog down most systems.
It should be atleast tested on slower machines, otherwise we are going to get people complaining: 'man, is Longhorn SLOW'.

I was just wondering. Because wasn't windows xp developed on athlon xps?

 

[unfalliblekrutch]

windows XP was probably developed on huge powerhouses...not athlon XPs because at the beginning of winXP's conception...the athlon xp's (if they even existed) would have been very slow and would crawl trying to run the bug ridden debug codes... 🙂
