"The judge in the ongoing Vista Capable row has denied PC buyers a motion for partial summary judgment in a lawsuit against Microsoft, citing a lack of evidence to show the company had hoodwinked customers. The issue will be decided in a forthcoming trial instead, ruled US District Judge Marsha Pechman late on Wednesday."

Also, The hardware manufacturers asked for it as well, they both should share the fault of vista not performing well. But the main thing is, as mentioned, vista does run on those machines, which indeed does make it 'capable'. If the sticker said, 'capable of running vista without any lag and as fast as xp' then there may have been an issue.

Maybe they should have put a sticker
"Capable of running Vista, but not all the features, such as that nice gfx desktop we show off everywhere"...
I guess it comes down to, what is Vista and what isn't. If the translucent windows are part of Vista then these machines are not "capable", so I guess what MS has said is that they aren't...
