Interesting Question,
The obvious reasons are as the computer industries continues forward so does the need for faster cpus. High 3D in Games require more CPU power, The Next version in Windows requires a newer CPU and a larger Hard drive. If you are doing any work with video which is very common for the regular person to purchase a flip cam (or other type) you can then take your videos then download then upload then to you computer edit them and then move them to YouTube; 10 years ago could not be performed without alot of effort.
Consider that when Windows 95 was released the system was
- Personal computer with a 386DX or higher processor (486 recommended)
- 4 megabytes (MB) of memory (8 MB recommended)
- Typical hard disk space required to upgrade to Windows 95: 35-40 MB The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install.
- Typical hard disk space required to install Windows 95 on a clean system: 50-55 MB The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install.
- One 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive
- VGA or higher resolution (256-color SVGA recommended)
Today for Windows 7 the requirements are:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
internet access (fees may apply)
Depending on resolution, video playback may require additional memory and advanced graphics hardware
For some Windows Media Center functionality a TV tuner and additional hardware may be required
Windows Touch and Tablet PCs require specific hardware
HomeGroup requires a network and PCs running Windows 7
DVD/CD authoring requires a compatible optical drive
BitLocker requires Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2
BitLocker To Go requires a USB flash drive
Windows XP Mode requires an additional 1 GB of RAM, an additional 15 GB of available hard disk space, and a processor capable of hardware virtualization with Intel VT or AMD-V turned on
Music and sound require audio output
It is possible to run a system that was purchased 5 years ago, but not with the latest greatest software out there. Various Flavors for windows may work but with a need to upgrade for the memory or the hard drive to be upgraded as a minumum; and to say that least if you do get the system to work (ie. Vista) it will then be pretty slow. Other system can be installed like Linux / Ubuntu / and the like and run pretty well but that is for another discussion.
