Woman sues Microsoft over Vista labels

MICROSOFT is being sued over its Vista marketing strategies over misleading "Windows Vista Capable" labels on new computers.

The issue was raised by customer Dianne Kelley who is miffed that "Windows Vista Capable" machines are able to run Vista Home Basic, but not necessarily the Premium edition, which features all the funky new Vista-specific Mac-a-like shiny stuff.

Vole however disagrees with Di, claiming that the company had "conducted a very broad and unprecedented effort" to make sure that retailers and manufacturers understand fully the hardware requirements for the entire Vista range.

According to SeattlePI.com, Linda Norman, a Volette, said that "as a company we went beyond what we've ever done to try and educate people so that they understood and could make the right purchase decision." Because Microsoft cares.

The lawsuit however claims that it was misleading to include the logo on machines that can't even run the cool-looking-but-kind-of-unnecessary Flip 3D and it's ilk. The complaint even swings a few punches at Billy Gates himself, saying that he himself helped along the so-called deceptive marketing when he appeared on telly and said that users could upgrade to Vista for less than One Hundred Buxx. The suit says that this is only possible with Bill's Basic edition. µ
