Papers filed yesterday in the Vista "junk PC" lawsuit reveal that the lawyers suing Microsoft believe that before Windows 7 is launched, Microsoft may roll out a "Windows 7 Capable" scheme, similar to controversial Vista Capable plan for which Microsoft is now being sued. Here are the details, including excerpts from the court filing.
The latest filing is part of the lawsuit against Microsoft for a marketing scheme in which people claim that Microsoft misled consumers into buying the Windows Vista Capable PCs, even though the PCs couldn't run the most important features of Vista. Microsoft has tried to get a judge to freeze the case, and then throw it out of court. In response, lawyers filed papers listing all the reasons why the case should not be frozen.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
XP will probably be the last good OS they released. Just today, I think there was news of Apple taking up more share in the OS market.
Yeah i think it was 14%
I think Microsoft must've learned something from all of this.
Would be surprised if they pulled another ME/Vista.
Micro$oft talk...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz
Vista Capable = Enough to run Home Basic.
Vista Ready = Enough to run Ultimate.
Just because the average Joe doesn't want to do some researching before buying, Microsoft should not be blamed. (Not a MS fanboy :)) They should blame the OEM's for not telling the buyers the whole story.
