I don't recall what all the specifics were, but MS's idea of a multimedia
system is an i286 or better, VGA, CD-ROM, and DVI (I think they're supporting
this).  And their attitude is still that the "m word" is something that will
be attainable in the future.
 
It's pretty funny, Microsoft is hoping for multimedia for the future when way
back in 1985 the introduction for the Amiga was a multimedia event.
 
I'm not trying to say that the Amiga was the first to be involved in
multimedia, but it was doing it before the buzz-word.
