Commercial downgrade from Vista to XP causes trial
28th February 2009
A lady from California, Emma Alvarado filed an action against Microsoft Corporation. In the petition filed to the Federal Court of Seattle, she stated that when buying a new Lenovo laptop, she had to pay $59. 25 to downgrade her computer to the operating system Windows XP form Vista.
From her own human opinion, this was sufficient to blame Microsoft for violating the antimonopoly legislation and law protecting the rights of consumers. Lawyers, hired by Alvarado, claims that Microsoft simply takes advantage of their dominant position in the software market, leaving no choice to their customers.
After releasing Vista, hardware manufacturers ceased or substantially reduced the supply of PC pre-installed with Windows XP. Nevertheless, the new system failed to be a great success and computer retailers were permitted to perform downgrading from Vista to XP by users’ requests.
Nevertheless, the downgrade was free only for those bought most expensive Vista editions (Business and Ultimate), while the rest of consumers have to pay for this service.
Microsoft lawyers, in their turn, put the blame on computer manufacturers. That is true, but only partially, as manufacturers’ revenue out of that are just out of comparison with those belonging to Microsoft.
