"Windows Vista Capable" doesn't mean "Windows Aero".

You're assuming the only advantage of Vista is Aero, ignoring th fact that it has a better kernel, better network stack, better security (even after disabling the annoying UAC), better audio/visual "Stacks" (finally able to tweak volumes based upon applications and whatnot) much deeper active directory/ACL/group policy integration, updated installed apps (media center, games, dvd burning, movie maker) and tons of other features.

Crysis is just an example of a game that has extreme requirements to run it in full fledged mode. You could probably run it on much lesser hardware by meeting the basic specs so there is NO difference in logo program unless you infer them differently based upon obvious bias.

As an OS you're not losing OS functionality by running the basic logo program. If you read the logo details and visit the logo site you would see you would want a premium system if you want to play games, use aero and have full functionality of all features.

Sounds to me like manufactures are dumping cheap crap and blaming microsoft that it doesn't run well and this lawsuit is just the ramifications of deceitful sales tactics by hardware manufactures.

There is absolutely no reason in todays market a PC couldn't run aero and if a manufacture builds such PC's MS shouldn't be at fault for someone who strives for the bare minimum.
