in court, this would aid Microsoft's case. People were buying a lot of very capable "made for XP" machines at the time that were curious if they could also purchase Vista on release; they may have not been serious about whether that model was going to make the grade or not.

Of course you or I would have checked the Vista catalogue before buying any machine before making a decision, but most people relied on the logo program, which WAS reliable once upon a time. It is the LOGO program that I feel should hang Microsoft in court.
