Microsoft Wins Windows XP WGA Lawsuit

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the patch-this dept.

Rish writes "A lawsuit that accused Microsoft of misleading consumers to download and install an update for Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) under the guise that it was critical security update has been tossed out. Last month, a federal judge refused to certify the lawsuit as a class action, which would have meant anyone who owned a Windows XP PC in mid-2006 could join the case without having to hire an attorney, and on Friday the same judge dismissed the case completely."

    when the wheels come off your car you don't really care if it was the manufacturer of the body or the wheels who screwed up.

    I'd have thought that someone like you who can't get enough camel-jockey cock would just put it down to allah's will.
