System Requirements

["Mayur Polepalli" <dbmayur -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello!
In software applications, why do we explicitly mention the software/hardware
requirements that overlap with the operating system's requirements?

For example,

Windows Vista x64 requirements are:

   - 1GHz 64-bit (x64) processor
   - 512MB of system memory
   - 20GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space
   - ...

And, Dummy Product's requirements are:

   - 1GHz 64-bit (x64) processor
   - 512MB of system memory
   - 200MB of available hard disk space

 Is it alright if we only mention the operating system and the additional
requirements?

The requirements for Dummy Product are:

   - Windows Vista x64
   - 200MB of available disk space

What do you think about this?

Have a good weekend!

Cheers,
Mayur
