It may just be that vista homo edition is just

This was said before, but this time it comes from a system builder which
has been feeling cozy with Microsoft for a long time.

No virtualisation permitted with Basic either... it's all about money
extraction and piracy control really squeezes that goose.

Look who is bitching,  Acer has been turning out shit as long as MS.
