Vista / Windows 7

Oh here is something interesting..

from The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/14/intel_microsoft_vista_capable/

High-ranking Microsoft and Intel executives were involved in a plan to re-write the Windows Vista Capable program to save both companies - and OEMs - millions of dollars, according to unsealed court documents.
Microsoft removed a key requirement from the Vista Capable program so PCs running old Intel chips suited to Windows XP but unable to run the Windows Vista Aero interface could still qualify as Visa-Capable machines, according to the documents here (warning: PDF).

..... Rest of the news is at the Register link..

If the Link or PDF disappears, I've also taken a copy in case the get removed.. :-)

JUST to add more interesting facts :
