Microsoft Sued Over WGA

[Bio-Hazard]

And a bit more MS Windows WGA fallout..................:mrgreen:

More trouble brewing in Redmond


Just when you thought that Microsoft's WGA problems were over with the release of an updated version of the utility (http://dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3073) and instructions on how to remove older versions completely (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=921914), things have taken a turn for the worse. A Los Angeles resident is now suing the software giant saying that it violated spyware laws.
Brian Johnson is seeking class-action status for his claims that Microsoft was too light on the details when it delivered its WGA anti-piracy utility (http://dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2766) to Windows based machines. As detailed in the suit, "Microsoft effectively installed the WGA software on consumers' systems without providing consumers any opportunity to make an informed choice about that software."
