On July 13, 2007, the firm, together with Keller Rohrback LLP, filed a second amended class action complaint in the United States District Court (Seattle) in a lawsuit against Microsoft seeking certification of a nationwide class of certain consumers, on account of Microsoft’s deceptive and unfair conduct in the marketing and selling of its new operating system “Vista.”  In sum, the class action lawsuit alleges that plaintiffs and all class members paid for Vista capability, but did not receive it.  More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Microsoft violated consumer protection and other laws through its marketing of PCs sold as “Windows Vista Capable” (supposedly upgradeable to “Vista” when it later launched) despite the fact that consumers could upgrade only to “Vista Home Basic”, an operating system Microsoft itself knew was not “Vista.”
