Microsft Sued for Vista to XP Dowwngrade Policy
Permalink   

Hmmmm... this is interesting..

Microsoft is under legal siege again over Vista. This time, a consumer is suing the company for using its monopoly power to force her to pay to downgrade from Vista to XP on a new laptop.

The Seattle Times provides a synopsis of the suit:

“Emma Alvarado bought a laptop from Lenovo on June 20, 2008, with Windows Vista Business preinstalled. She paid Lenovo ‘an additional $59.25 in order to ‘downgrade’ her operating system to Windows XP Professional.’ Alvarado is seeking class-action status.”
