Sorry that “Get a life.” comment aimed at the Microsoft bashers was a bit harsh.
Maybe just give MS the benefit of the doubt? I remember a friend of mine had a laptop that was “Vista Capable” – sure enough it ran Vista, but the built in web cam didn’t work. Not Microsoft’s fault, really is it?
It did run Aero, but had it not, I would again pointed the finger at the manufacturer. I believe Intel release a new onboard chip that was said at the time to be the minimum to run Aero (the GMA 950 I think). Were PC makers not aware that anything less would not run Aero?

Surely it’s the PC manufacturers’ fault for putting the stick on deices which weren’t capable.

The anti-Microsoft brigade again. Get a life.

Stevie B’s post is quite amusing, and probably not that far off what the real Mr Ballmer (ing mad, judging from those monkey boy histrionics) thinks.

Here’s to hoping the misled consumers will win. They would if I was judge.

The whiney moroms sueing Microsoft in the VistaCapable law suit have won a “victory” of sorts, in that the court has ordered that I be deposed and testify!
My people sent them a letter last month where I told them “I know nothing, I see nothing!”
I feel like this is becoming sort of a witch hunt, you know, “catch the rich CEO guy in a blatant lie” kinda thing. I told them what they needed to know. What ever happened to the good old days of the privilaged rich?
I give more to charity in a week than that judge makes in a year! I do good stuff!
What’s wrong with this great country of ours when the “I’m too busy and important” excuse no longer works?

Well, if they want ME in court, they are gonna’ get ME in court! All I can say is that court will never be the same again!
