"Vista Capable" lawsuit

[Tyler Aviss]

It's actually a pretty interesting read. Sounds like a lot of the
developers and project teams were really sticking with the
requirements for the sticker (Vista Certification), only to get
steamrolled near the end by a collusion and agreement between
sales-drones of MS and those in Intel lobbying them to alter the spec
to allow sub-par hardware.

It's pretty sad, because MS seems to have a lot of talent and I really
wouldn't be surprised to see that a lot of the issues they run into
are marketdroids overruling IT common-sense.
