Lawyers want Windows Update used to push 'Vista Capable' lawsuit notices
Microsoft's update service could help reach potential class-action plaintiffs
October 3, 2008 (Computerworld)
Lawyers in the "Windows Vista Capable" class-action lawsuit against Microsoft have asked a federal judge to force the company to use its Windows Update service to notify potential class members, court documents filed yesterday revealed.
In a motion submitted to U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman, lawyers for the plaintiffs laid out a notification plan that would include print ads in publications such as USA Today, banner ads on sites including Yahoo.com and MSN.com, and a message that would be delivered to Windows users by Microsoft's automatic update service.
Noting that Microsoft has repeatedly said it cannot identify the people who bought PCs under its Vista Capable marketing campaign in 2006 and early 2007, the plaintiffs' attorneys pitched Pechman on the idea of using Windows Update to reach them. "Although Microsoft cannot identify class members, it can communicate to them through its Windows Update program," the motion filed Thursday said.
