"Two Middle Americans have sued Acer over its low-cost Aspire notebooks, claiming that the Taiwanese PC giant pre-installed Windows Vista on machines ill-equipped to run Microsoft's latest OS. With a lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Francisco, California, two residents of Fostoria, Ohio seek damages and relief from the world's third-largest computer maker after purchasing a sub-$600 Aspire notebook that included Windows Vista Premium and a gigabyte of shared system and graphics memory."

I'm not going to sue Ford when they sell me a car full of features but also full of cheap plastic parts that tend to break.
Bad for you. At least you should get Ford to replace those parts that break. After all, you don't actually pay for shit, even if they sell you shit, you have rights as a consumer.
Why is it any different with computers? Because it is too technical?
The consumer needs to educate themselves before purchasing products. First and foremost learn the phrase "You get what you pay for."

The problem is not that people doesn't have right to sue. It's nobody does it because nobody actually cares or really wants to go trough all the pain and money wasting on demands. But I bet you those hardware companies would go down the drain if more people started sueing for the crap they sell to the world.

It all comes down to the consumer actually doing research before they buy a product.

Now Microsoft should come down hard on Acer for selling their OS on crap PCs, but in the end there is very little Microsoft can do except to stop selling Acer their software.
