+-   Lawyers: Vista branding confused even Microsoft on Thursday November 29 2007, @08:59PM Trotti Laganna

Trotti Laganna writes "Lawyers for plaintiffs in a case brought against Microsoft over Vista's marketing for not telling the truth when it put the "Vista capable" logo on PCs that would only be capable of running Vista Home Basic. Case in point is that even the software giant's marketing director Mark Croft, was confused by the pre-launch campaign in the United States.

Croft's explanation was that "'capable'...has an interpretation for many that, in the context of this program, a PC would be able to run any version of the Windows operating system". After a 10-minute break to talk to Microsoft's lawyers, Croft admitted he had made "an error", and retracted his previous statement, saying that, by "capable", Microsoft meant "able to run a version of Vista"."
