Yes, the graffittists are at work, giving disinformation.
Most Vista systems work with the built-in games. Nothing more than
that. Even games players have been crying out on the Internet for help
with installing software. However, they are not to blame.

The original complaint by Eibert was: "It just keeps freezing and
rebooting mostly when i touch or pick it up."
Yes, it is over-sensitive. It is over-sensitive regardless of the
individual unit, and regardless of the manufacturer. This is therefore
not a dry joint on the circuit-board, which is a common cause of
intermittent faults. It is the operating system.

Beware of the spam e-mails offering a "Microsoft Critical Patch". This
is a virus. Virus-writers have discovered how buggy Microsoft systems
are, and masquerade as genuine Microsoft sources.
I tried to get through to the Microsoft website, to show the list of
non-functioning "Updates to enable updates". However, on the Microsoft
site, once a Microsoft pop-up window appears, one cannot get rid of
it. So I cannot show you the list. There are at least 42 attempts by
Microsoft to repair their system over the WWW, all of them failures.
There are even shops on the Web that SELL these non-functioning
updates that are free from Microsoft. Avoid them.

So how do you explain that fact that big games do run on Vista. I have AoE
III, CFS 3, Halo, and Fable on my computer for the kids, and Zoo Tycoon II
for my grand daughter because she likes to see the animals walk about.
While some laptops are not well enough specified to handle Vista, freezing
and rebooting is if touched down to poor internal construction or
manufacturing faults.
E-mails purporting to be from MS is not a fault of MS and, if you hadn't
noticed, updates are a feature of all operating systems.
Some OEM builds are not good and may not take updates well. So blame the
OEMs for it
