[News] PC Mag Warning on Vista Basic Edition (Crippleware)

Steer Clear of Windows Vista Basic

,----[ Quote ]
| So beware, friends, of too-cheap Vista systems. They may be
| running Home Basic, and that means they may not be ready to
| fulfill anyone's 21st-century computing needs.

Acer: Vista Home Basic is a lemon

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is effectively smuggling through a price hike for Windows
| Vista - by making the entry-level version so poor that no-one will
| want to use it. So says Jim Wong, senior veep at Acer, the world's
| number four PC maker, who told UK hack Jon Honeyball: "The new
| [Vista] experience you hear of, if you get Basic, you won't feel
| it at all. There's no [Aero] graphics, no Media Center, no
| remote control."
