The problem is that "Windows Vista Capable" meant in most cases "able to install a bare Vista OS." Most of these PCs can't run properly or can't run at all other versions that the Vista Home Basic, "which has been described by one reviewer as 'the most pointless edition of Windows that Microsoft has ever released'."

I know everyone hates microsoft being a competitor. Doesn't this seem limp to anyone but me? I mean I hate to play the devils advocate, but who seriously gives a rats ass how they advertise as long as they can deliver on what they promise?

i see what you mean but from what I can see they haven't really lived up to what they were advertising... well they weren't clear with what they were setting out. I have to say anyone who went out and bought a basic machine that was Vista capable (and then wanting Vista) was probably a bit closed eyed.
