  Microsoft was advised not to brand Home Basic as Vista
Time: 00:31 EST/05:31 GMT | News Source: Seattle PI | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

A key area of controversy in an ongoing lawsuit is whether Microsoft misled consumers by allowing computer makers to label PCs as "Vista Capable" when they could only run the most basic version of the Vista operating system, known as Vista Home Basic. Turns out Microsoft was advised to not put the Vista name on Home Basic computers at all.

Documents unsealed in an ongoing class-action lawsuit show that the Windows Product Management Group recommended in August 2005 that Home Basic should "carry the Windows brand name without the Vista generation name." They also suggested that Windows Starter not carry the Vista brand.
