You don't seem to get the point. Vista runs fine on that chipset *exactly* because MS lowered their requirements, i.e. they removed stuff from Vista that couldn't run on that chipset. ]]>Mar 2nd 2008 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/Feb 28th 2008 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/Feb 28th 2008 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/Feb 28th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/Feb 28th 2008 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/Feb 28th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/Feb 28th 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/28/microsoft-lowered-vista-requirements-to-help-intel-sell-incompat/

He never said he was special, he just said he likes Microsoft. So do I. Is it only cool to like something if less than 10% of the people use it? Moron.

And I still don't see the validity of this lawsuit. Vista Capable. If it is capable of running Vista, AT ALL, doesn't that mean the sticker is valid? Maybe if it said "Full Vista Feature Capability" that would be another story.

Eh. Whatever.]]>Feb 28th 2008 2:00PM
