If MS purposely lowered the standards for Intel then they where definately wrong by doing so. I just read up a bit on an Intel article about the Intel 915 chipset not being able to handle Aero. The integrated graphics processor and memory just aren't powerful enough to run Aero, but can run the basic Vista desktop.

The chipset in question was put in low end pc's but I guess the real problem comes when you ask what the computers where marketed as being compatible with. I could argue all day about a sticker that says capable on it, but if there was a check list or something on the side of the computer saying that it was fully compatible with Vista that then changes things up.
