Just another reason why they shouldn't have so many versions of the same OS. It just makes it confusing to the general public.

Would be better to just have PCLinuxOS, low sytem requirments, and only like 2 is it? different versions.
Just gotta wait till it comes out... :(

Anyone got any news on this?

I totally support this customer in her legal battle. Microsoft dont make this clear at all and its a costly mistake to make, buying a pc to install vista and then it not working on the version you buy. The laptops at school(IBM thinkpads) are certified Vista Combatible but they would only, barely run home basic edition. I hope Microsoft lose this one, will show them whos boss.

should come out this month, they're gonna be releasing very soon but I'm not sure whether it will be another test release or final. Hopefully final.
