Sony claims the first release of Microsoft's operating system lacks the ability to take advantage of the new hardware, despite marketing claims to the contrary.
Transparent windows might not be Windows Vista's only see-through feature. Sony is claiming that compatability with Intel's Turbo Memory technology, which was promised with the new operating system, isn't actually functional in the first release.
Turbo Memory is a form of on-board laptop memory designed to reduce boot time and application loading times by pre-loading data. While Dell, Asus, Acer and Toshiba already offer notebooks with Turbo Memory built in, Sony claims that they will not include it on their next line of Vaio notebooks because Vista isn't actually capable of taking advantage of it.
