PlaysForSure Mutates Into "Certified for Windows Vista"

Microsoft probably thinks they're making things easier by rebranding its PlaysForSure program as simply "Certified for Windows Vista," the sticker that's slapped on all manner of gear and software. But they're not—they're folding apples into oranges, making for an even bigger flustercuck.

"Does iTunes not work with Vista?" Sigh. [Microsoft]
