According to this article on DailyTech, Microsoft labled a
lot of severely underpowered computers as being 'Vista Capable.' Sure, this isn't really a big deal. The computers can run Vista, just not at all
like how a real computer can. Nah, the trouble is (and this is what the people in the comments thread keep on missing, dammit) that the prices of these
machines were jacked up. To quote one Microsoft employee who himself got suckered into the scheme, "I PERSONALLY got burnt ... Are we seeing this from a lot of customers? ... I now have a $2,100 e-mail
machine."
