Judge Decertifies Class in 'Vista Capable' Suit
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Just weeks before the trial on whether or not Microsoft tricked millions of customers into buying PCs incapable of running Windows Vista back in 2006, the judge Wednesday removed the plaintiff's "class action" status.
The court stopped short, however, of dismissing the case altogether.
What the ruling means to the case ? known as the "Vista Capable" lawsuit ? at this point is unknown. However, a loss in a class action suit with potentially millions of class members could result in millions or even billions in damages.
