About this tag
The tag 'capable' on WindowsForum.com is used in discussions about Windows Vista's system requirements, specifically the confusion over the 'Vista Ready' label and whether it guaranteed Aero capability. Internal Microsoft emails from 2006, including from Windows 7 head Steven Sinofsky, reveal that even Microsoft executives were unclear on whether 'Vista Ready' meant a PC could run the Aero interface. The tag appears in threads examining historical Windows hardware compatibility issues and Microsoft's communication around system requirements.
