Ballmer Ordered To Testify In 'Vista Capable' Case
alphadogg writes "A federal judge in Seattle has ordered Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to testify in a class action lawsuit against Microsoft that alleges the company misled consumers in a marketing campaign for its Windows Vista operating system in which computers sold with an older Microsoft OS were labeled 'Vista Capable' when in fact they could only run a basic version of Vista. Ballmer has unique personal knowledge of facts surrounding the case, therefore he must face questioning, Judge Marsha Pechman of the US District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle ruled, according to court documents released late Friday."
Bleh, a perfectly good on-topic comment modded offtopic. I want the old metamoderation system back, where mods were modded "fair" and "unfair" and if you got metamodded "unfair" you didn't get future mod points.
THIS comment is offtopic. The GP is not.

The mods got it right this time. Actually I think the moderators are doing a very good job, under very difficult circumstances.

It was about Balmer and court. How was it off topic?

Whose suing Intel for their locked down onboard video adapters -- when it was proven that they can run Aero in Vista Betas (but the driver capability was later removed)? Thats the lawsuit that should have happened!
