There are some similarities between the current situation and the so called Vista capable fiasco which apparently saw Intel and Microsoft collude to push products including obsolete graphics chipsets as Vista capable models.As Ed Bott from ZDNet puts it, "how much positive Windows 7 buzz will be wiped out in coming weeks and months when consumers and business buyers discover that a heavily hyped new Windows 7 feature, XP Mode, won’t work on some Intel-based products?” Hopefully not much.
