One year after the birth of Windows Vista, why do so many Windows XP 
users still decline to "upgrade"?

...

Last month, Judge Marsha A. Pechman granted class-action status to 
the suit, which is scheduled to go to trial in October. ...   Anyone 
who bought a PC that Microsoft labeled "Windows Vista Capable" 
without also declaring "Premium Capable" is now a party in the suit.

...

...  where does Microsoft go to buy back its lost credibility?
