Microsoft dodges class action in WGA lawsuit | |
|
||
| Time: 14:13 EST/19:13 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

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 will go forward, but not as a class action. A federal judge has 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. As Windows XP was easily the most popular operating system at the time, the move means Redmond has managed to avoid hundreds of millions in potential damages. Microsoft has until February 12, 2010 to submit its expense list to the court. | ||
