Vista Capable Debacle


There are some people who were brave enough to trust the above sticker and upgrade their machines to Vista, and watch the failure commence.

Now there are lawsuits and trials waiting to be had to figure out why these stickers were placed on machines that either could barely run Vista, or not handle its' massiveness at all.

I had a 4 year old laptop that could run it; slowly, without my NIC working, etc., but it worked! It seems that everyone feels the right to sue everyone over every little thing, so why not sue Microsoft over false labeling.

According to this article, posted on Gizmodo, Microsoft "lowered the hardware standards to appease Intel." That would be an interesting change of events. 

But at the end of the day, Microsoft still pushed the sticker to be on sub par machines. That's' a fact that's not going to change, regardless of who they point their fingers at.
