Lawsuit filed against Microsoft's "Vista Capable" certification

Lawsuit filed against Microsoft's Vista Capable certification

A federal lawsuit has been filed against Microsoft, claiming that thier "Vista Capable" stickers are misleading. Many of the computers sporting them will only run Vista on the lowest, most basic settings. The lawsuit has been accepted by US District Judge Marsha Pechman. The issue is whether or not Microsoft tried to sell more "Vista Capable" computers by misleading customers.

But didn't your eyes bleed? Mine scream for mercy when I have to turn the detail down or the framerate drops under 40 (and I need 60 to be happy).

I don't what kind of English that is lol.

If you mean I can't see it, that is wrong, Everyone "sees" differently. I can easily see anything under 60 fps and monitor refresh rates under 100.
