Law and Order Lawyers for plaintiffs in a case brought against Microsoft over Vista's marketing have claimed that Microsoft was not telling the truth when it put the "Vista Capable" logo on PCs that would only be capable of running Vista Home Basic. Lawyers claimed that even Microsoft's director of marketing, Mark Croft, had become confused about the meaning of "Vista capable" when giving evidence.

Hello... Microsoft do not sell computers.

The way the original document was worded, it read like the manufacturers present their computers to someone at Microsoft who will test them to make sure they can run Vista before putting a sticker on them saying it can.

If a manufacturer places a Vista capable sticker on their PC, how is this a fault of Microsoft ?

Once again US lawyers are showing they have not got a clue about the computing industry.

There is a saying,

"For things you do not understand, leave well alone"
