about the 'Vista Capable' marketing. Some of the most damning evidence
comes from Microsoft executives: 'Mike Nash, currently a corporate vice
president for Windows product management, wrote in an e-mail, "I
PERSONALLY got burnt ... Are we seeing this from a lot of customers?
... I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine." Jim Allchin, then the
co-president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, wrote in
another e-mail, "We really botched this ... You guys have to do a
better job with our customers."' The judge in the case is currently
considering the plaintiffs' request to make it a class-action lawsuit."</i>
