Well, the evidence brought forth from the case shows clearly the M$ lowered the standards in order to help Intel make its quarterly numbers. I'm not sure that the mfgs using the Intel chips knew about this. It would appear that M$ and Intel are largely, if not completely, to blame here.

>True. But, I'm not sure all the blame lies with Microsoft. If a hardware manufacturer knew there were issues with the Vista Capable logo, why did they slap it on the machine?

>>Sure, good advice, but the original post was about computers that were supposedly Vista capable and that turned out to be hogwash. Beyond that, however, even if you have the best hardware for Vista, there are many other issues that are plaguing Vista as evidenced in Microsoft's own internal e-mails.
