Guess, Windows 8 just isn't "allowed" to run on old hardware anymore.

To be fair, many recent Linux distributions won't work (at least without tweaking) on a pre-2005 Pentium M either.

For example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is the newest version that'll run on my trusty 2Ghz Pentium M Thinkpad (7 years old and still going strong). RHEL 6 and recent desktop distributions like Ubuntu 12.04 won't install on it at all.

Windows 7 works fine, and surprisingly even has drivers for all the outdated hardware. I can't say I'm either surprised or upset that I won't be able to run Windows 8 on it.
