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."

Another great victory for incompetence, inconvenience and greed.

Re:"Paid more"? What about "needed to replace?"

Actually, the machines were demonstrably capable of running Vista.

"Take my word for it: the federal court system is far less corrupt than you think it is [though YMMV with state and local courts"

I won't take your word for it because lawyers are liars for the most part. Also, Federal system continues to fuck over the citizen while states enact laws to defend the citizen (Medical Marijuana, anyone)) and despite repeated state measures barring FEDERAL thugs from doing things THEY STILL DO IT.

The corruption is everywhere and it is DEEP. Having been in prison, and having been through several Federal circuits, you're so full of yourself I don't see HOW you can wake up and look at yourself in a mirror with a straight face.
