What does "Vista Capable" mean to you?
 

Apparently it means different things to different people, and as such... there's a class action suit against Microsoft. People thought that "capable" meant that the PC would be able to run any version of Vista. Microsoft thinks it means that it can run Vista Home Edition... but not necessarily the other versions.

The funny part was, even the guy at Microsoft didn't know what it was supposed to mean!



Microsoft's director of marketing, Mark Croft, had become confused about the meaning of "Vista capable" when giving evidence.

Croft's explanation was that "'capable' has an interpretation for many that, in the context of this program, a PC would be able to run any version of the Windows operating system."

"Ready," Croft continued, "may (cause) concerns that the PC would run in some improved or better way than 'capable.'"

After a 10-minute break to talk to Microsoft's lawyers, Croft admitted he had made "an error" and retracted his previous statement, saying that by "capable" Microsoft meant "able to run a version of Vista."

I think MS should just say FU and call Vista home ed. Vista, then call the other versions Vista business ed, etc. Then say there fuckers it runs Vista.

To me that means it will run Vista with upgrades. "Vista Ready" would signify that you can install it and go.

To me, Vista Capable means format required.

to me, it means it should run any form of vista.

To me it means XP will work like charm :)

To me it means 'Buyer Beware'...

It means you are using the same questionable advertising practices associated with rip-off auto repair outlets. It's called add-ons.

I'm thinking it's time for Microsoft to settle on this one.
