Alien54's Journal: 'Vista Capable' lawsuit against Microsoft now a class action

In a blow to Microsoft Corp., a federal judge granted class-action status to a lawsuit late Friday alleging that Microsoft unjustly enriched itself by promoting PCs as "Windows Vista Capable" even when they could only run a bare-bones version of the operating system, called "Vista Home Basic." During an earlier hearing internal Microsoft e-mails were quoted that appeared to show that employees within Microsoft had misgivings about the "Windows Vista Capable" campaign.
