bfwebster writes "Microsoft is currently facing a class-action suit
over its designation of allegedly under-powered hardware as being
'Vista Capable.' The discovery process of that lawsuit has now
compelled Microsoft to produce some internal emails discussing those
issues. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has published extracts of some
of those emails, along with a link to a a PDF file containing a more
extensive email exchange. The emails reflect a lot of frustration among
senior Microsoft personnel about Vista's performance problems and
hardware incompatibilities. They also appear to indicate that Microsoft
lowered the hardware requirements for 'Vista Capable' in order to
include certain lower-end Intel chipsets, apparently as a favor to
Intel: 'In the end, we lowered the requirement to help Intel make their
quarterly earnings so they could continue to sell motherboards with 915
graphics embedded.' Read the whole PDF; it is informative, interesting,
and at times (unintentionally) funny."
