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."

    Actually, the machines were demonstrably capable of running Vista.
