You have a good point. Every Vista story I read has people saying how bad their/their friend's experience with Vista on their brand new top of the line hardware was. Immediately after comes people saying how stable their Vista machine is on their old hardware...blah blah, same story, different people. The truth is somewhere in between. ]]>Feb 12th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/1)engadget post vista story

I hate having to pretend that someone made a great purchase because I'm too nice to tell them they got ripped off.

too much money is made from big companies taking advantage of consumer carelessness.]]>Feb 12th 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/what's w the cheapshot at Chrysler?

There are worse car companies, like Ford.

Ford makes plenty of great cars. It's just that none of them are sold in America. It's only a matter of time (and desperation) before they get their crap in order and bring us the gems from Europe.

GM may be in the most financial trouble, but their products are greatly improving. It is evident that they're serious about rebuilding. Losses from financial restructuring can only be expected for such a big company.

Meanwhile, Chrysler is getting the old nip/tuck from their faceless owner in order to be sold off again to the highest bidder. While it isn't hopeless yet, the death of the Viper spells the beginning of the end for them.

Always great to talk about cars on engadget.]]>Feb 12th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/

Didn't that internal email support Microsoft's claim, and not the opposite? The fact that a "piece of junk" can run Vista Basic is evidence that all these "Vista Capable" machines were indeed Vista Capable. Just because OEM's ignore Microsoft's recomended 1g of ram doesn't make Microsoft out to be the baddie here.

I remember when OS 10.2 Powerbooks were shipping with 256MB of Ram, that was EVEN WORSE than Vista on 512. But nobody complained or sued Apple then.

The double standard on this blog is really starting to annoy me. And for the record, I own Apple Computers as well. ]]>Feb 12th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/
It's the slightly informed customers that lose in the end. We buy a product thinking we'll be able to do all the fancy stuff we read about, but we didn't quite have ALL the info, and the sales person had even less.

Blame the sales people that don't know what they're selling. I hate to put blame on the consumers because it's like pulling teeth trying to find information on new technology, even when you scour the interwebs.

Can we all agree to pay more for products at Best Buy so they can afford to train their employees? We could at least start buying their extended service contracts...no?]]>Feb 12th 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/Feb 12th 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/microsoft-vp-i-personally-got-burnt-by-vista-capable-stickers/advice nor analysis /

Keep in mind this was even before Vista got released. Microsoft released the minimum specs for Vista, and also decided that "Vista Capable" meant a machine was capable of running Vista Home Basic.
