Internal Emails Released In Vista Capable Debacle

An anonymous reader writes "As previously discussed, Microsoft's attempt to shield itself from further discovery over the Windows Vista Capable debacle has failed and more internal emails have been released. Although Microsoft has successfully kept CEO Steve Ballmer away from the witness stand on grounds the he 'has no unique knowledge of the facts in this case,' emails suggest otherwise. An email was released in which Intel CEO Paul Otellini thanks Ballmer for listening and making changes to the program allowing their 915 chipset to pass the grade: 'I know you did it.'"

Vista's problem is, it doesn't really make people feel like they "got what they paid for" in many cases.

What I'm saying is that the fault of that lies not in the operating system but in the garbage machines produced by OEMs. If the "Vista Experience" is what you were seeking, but it is not what you got, I can understand that it's tempting to blame the OS. The fact is that experience is definitely there, but if you can't get to it because your computer can't bring it to you, that is totally the system builder's fault for saying it would happen when it would not (and yours for not investigating the matter first).
