Judge: Vista suit capable of going to trial

  2007-08-16 18:00:27
The"Windows Vista Capable" lawsuit took another step toward trial or settlement Tuesday when US District Court Judge Marsha Pechman denied Microsoft's request for dismissal. The suit was filed in March by a pair of miffed PC buyers. Their claim: Microsoft's prerelease"Windows Vista Capable" campaign was a sham because the Vista in"Vista Capable" is merely Home Basic and not Home Premium or Ultimate. Todd Bishop's Microsoft Blog reports the ruling means Microsoft will have to answer in court at least two of the plaintiff's four claims,"that Microsoft's marketing violated the Consumer Protection Act, and that the company was unjustly enriched."
