Vista is only a marketing ploy for people to be forced to buy new hardware. Period.]]>Apr 3rd 2007 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/microsoft-hit-with-lawsuit-for-false-vista-ads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/microsoft-hit-with-lawsuit-for-false-vista-ads/
"A new PC running Windows XP that carries the Windows Vista Capable PC logo can run Windows Vista. All editions of Windows Vista will deliver core experiences such as innovations in organizing and finding information, security, and reliability. All Windows Vista Capable PCs will run these core experiences at a minimum. Some features available in the premium editions of Windows Vista—like the new Windows Aero user experience—may require advanced or additional hardware."


Bullshit lawsuit. Be an informed consumer and do your homework, and you won't end up with crap that doesnt work as expected. If you dont know shit about computers, get someone who does to help. It's not that hard. If you are upgrading to Vista for the pretty graphics (which are a very small part of the upgrade, and it seems obvious Paul Miller hasn't used Vista), you'd probably want to, gee I dunno, check to see if the pretty graphics will work on your system? All the system requirements are publically available and are always caveated with 'some additional features may not work' etc.

This lawsuit ain't going anywhere. ]]>Apr 3rd 2007 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/microsoft-hit-with-lawsuit-for-false-vista-ads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/microsoft-hit-with-lawsuit-for-false-vista-ads/

Why else would she be suing a giant corporation. She is a idiot who thinks she has a just cause. Just because she walked into some store and couldn't ask questions because of her egotistical nature doesn't mean she can sue because her ego played a part in LEARNING. What a uneducated stupid motherfuck*r.

Ther eis no doubting it. There is no refuting it. And, while you may want to come back and tell me how you can build your own PC for far less than a Mac... DON'T! 90% of the world doesn't build their own PC, they go buy one made for them from a major manufacturer.

And as agreed with the other guy, The mac adds have plenty of false advertising themselves.

First of all
"practically virus free" true, but that is because practically nobody uses them. So why make a virus for only 5-10% of PC users? when you can dominate and have one effect 90-95%.

in response to those mac ads
the one with the annoying firewall that kept asking PC to accept or deny
Well in that ad he must have said accept 3-5 times to the same MAC. He could have simply "Always accept MAC" it isnt that hard.

the one when PC is upgrading to vista and is complaining about all they have to do
Well PC must be a very old computer, because my 3 year old Dell (cost me 500 at the time) is perfectly compatable with Vista, although i haunt ran it on the dell yet.

The ad about the network how PC doesnt understand the Asian digital camera
well i havnt done too much research but i have yet to see a digital camera that says "MAC ONLY" and i know that i have gone through 3 digital cameras and each one was a simple plug and play.

the ad where PC is complaining about kid's listening to music on him and he doesnt want to.
i guess MAC is saying itunes sucks, as the majority of PCs use itunes to listen to music. and if they are saying itunes cant handle listening to music that much then.. hmmm

either way, im using WMP11 for my music needs, works perfectly and even gathered my album art for EVERY song of mine for free, no registration necessary!

the ad where PC is attempting to lure in more people by advertising more "creatively"
Well, before vista came out, i cannot remember the last time i saw a windows advertisement, i mean ive seen dell, but dell does not represent microsoft. However what mac is doing, creating all these senseless advertisements about the mac being allmighty and the pc being.. not allmighty is really just what mac is saying pc is doing in the ad.

See for yourself, go to dell.com.. for the SAME computer (tech wise) it is anywhere from -200-800 price difference. yes its true, the high-end MAC laptops/power macs are actually a good 100-200 dollars cheaper.but the such small percentage of people who buy 4,000 dollar computers. For the majoraty of us, we save a good 400 dollars average buying a PC. granted you dont get the ALL IN ONE of the MAC, nor the sleek design. (i will admit MACS look really good) but i dont think that the sleek design is worth 400+ dollars do you?

damn that was one long post]]>Apr 3rd 2007 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/microsoft-hit-with-lawsuit-for-false-vista-ads/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/03/microsoft-hit-with-lawsuit-for-false-vista-ads/
