When did he say that??? He said that you can't complain when new software doesn't work on old hardware. There's a certain hardware threshold at which Gnome will become more usable. I don't expect to be able to run Gnome on my old 386 33MHz, nor on my 486 66MHz. I expect to be able to run it on my 1GHz Athlon with 256M of RAM. The system is 4 years old and runs Gnome 2.6 just fine and dandy. I think modern software that runs on 4 year old hardware is more than reasonable.
