Vista Capable Lawsuit Loses Class-Action Status

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-means-what-exactly-now dept.

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."

    Slashdot has become really shit in recent years, especially post-Vista.

    There are actual factual Microsoft shills now, who will just outright lie and get modded up for it. They fit in comfortably with the old Slashdot segment of robber baron wannabees, who love sucking corporate dick.

    It's coincided with kdawson and a general drop in story quality. There's exactly one place on the whole wide internets that I can still usually find intelligent and friendly conversation: SadlyNo. Troll away, fuckers.
