I was just trying to determine who would be affected by reduced = functionality mode.

you cannot perform the following actions:. Play built-in games

      Windows Vista premium features such as Aero Glass, ReadyBoost, and =

         Actually no though you have repeatedly lied about this.  The =
minimum requirements from =
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx are

        A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:

          a.. A modern processor (at least 800MHz1).=20
          b.. 512 MB of system memory.=20
          c.. A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.
      Even for a Windows Vista Premium Ready PC the requirement is only =
"Internet access capability" not any actual access.  This makes
sense = since a system builder doesn't provide Internet service.  The
intent is = that if you purchase a premium ready PC that you can get
Internet access = if you want it.
