Windows Vista Capable Machines Coming 340
An anonymous reader writes "PC World's Techlog has a short piece talking about the upcoming emergence of 'Windows Vista Capable' PCs." From the article: "The Vista Capable designation doesn't promise that a PC will provide a great Vista experience, or even that it'll support all Vista features or features...just that it'll be able to run Windows Vista Home Basic in some not-very-well-defined-but-apparently-adequate way. At the moment, there are still new PCs on store shelves that don't meet the Vista Capable guidelines--for instance, low-end systems still sport 256MB of RAM in some cases. Wonder if that means that that A) we'll see some cheap systems that still have XP even after Vista ships; or B) the specs on even the cheapest machines will be beefed up; or C) we'll see machines that have Vista preloaded but which don't qualify as Vista capable?"

Additionally, the AtomChip laptops are one of Duke Nukem Forever's launch partners. I look forward to getting my hands on one of these puppies.

Vista sounds like a new game. Just turn down the draw distance and Vista will run fine! People might have trouble getting used to the fog on inactive windows though.

Mind you it is a bit of a cash grab but I have found software that has the sticker has a tendency to run better in windows.
It's a wash. I've found software that has that sticker tends to work worse - or not at all - in Linux.

Two of these are pristine; half of the third has rubbed off so that it is now "Desig-- Microso-- Window--" instead. I wonder if XP will start crashing when the rest of that sticker is worn away.

yes. they deserve it damnit. Deserve it! You tried to save money by getting the best product for your $! You ignorant whores! How could you do this! You thought being on televsion meant something about the legitimacy and stability of a product! YOU TRUSTED THE MAN! AH! AH! AH!
A far better strategy would be to obtain a CS degree, work in a counter-cultural company's IT department, read slashdot and all the industry journals you can get your hands on, and then make informed rational decisions while you practice yoga in your static-free chip lab behind the cannibus fields at your silicon valley compound. Also, any overweight less than 2 standard deviation beyond mean IQ, or midwestern families should be shot and their bodies used for food processing enrichment.
Stupid fucks! You bought a dell!
