"VISTA CAPABLE"?

Not so much. MS, aka The real Great Satan, tried to appease Intel by falsely claiming Intel's 915 graphic chip set was compatible with VISTA. The good news? Some MS honchos were fooled:
Microsoft's own most senior executives were completely bamboozled by the "Vista capable" labelling scheme. "I personally got burned by the Intel 915 chipset on a laptop that I PERSONALLY (e.g. with my own $$$) [bought]", said Mike Nash, Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management, who bought a "Vista capable" laptop, only to find it couldn't run the Aero interface. "I now have a $2100 email machine," he concluded.
