Vista Capable Lawsuit Loses Class-Action Status
nandemoari writes "The long-running 'Vista Capable' lawsuit challenging Microsoft's marketing of PCs capable of running only the most basic version of the Windows Vista operating system has reportedly lost its class-action status. Federal judge Marsha Pechman decertified the class-action lawsuit, saying that plaintiffs had failed to show that consumers paid more for PCs with the 'Vista Capable' label than they would have otherwise."
Darn, my mouse was not vista capable! I wasted $75 on this MightyMouse thinking its gonna run on my lovely Vista laptop. I'm filing a class-action suit for this, hopefully I should get my $$ back.

OBVIOUSLY no dude, by night, when everyone leaves the factory, some Latino dude with indigenous heritage make some ritual (involving Win 95 floppies, WinME complain letters and spit from RIAA representatives) so magical pixies emerge from the pile of Vista licenses and roam the factory automagically putting the sticker on. Does not apply if is a Chinese factory because you should know that nobody sleeps in th... errr because pixies does not get along with dragons and that all I'm going to say about it. Get the facts!
I thought FOSS stood for Free Operating System Stickers.
What's that? It's Free Open Source Software? Wow, that explains a lot. Excuse me, I need to go make some apologies on some Linux forums.

Your logic and reasonable thinking has no place here on Slashdot. Any chance to bash Microsoft for any reason MUST be taken, no matter how difficult it is to prove any wrong doing on the part of MS.
