We told you about the upcoming lawsuit against Microsoft for the ‘Vista Capable’
fiasco. The SeattlePI is reporting that MS CEO Steve Ballmer has been ordered to testify in the
case since he may have had “unique knowledge.”
In a statement, a Microsoft spokesman said, "We will of course comply with the court's order. Mr.
Ballmer's knowledge about the Windows Vista Capable program comes from the executives he empowered
to run the program and make decisions, and two of those executives already testified in this
case."

One of the main problems with Windows Vista (and earlier versions) is that Windows consumes quite a
lot of diskspace, with few means to trim down the installation. To make matters worse, Windows

Hewlett Packard (HP) has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and is considering abandoning Windows
all together. HP would develop their own software for their PCs. I'm sure Steve Jobs just loves
seeing Microsoft in the begger's position. :D

FORBES -
Microsoft: Don't Mess With HP
Brian Caulfield, 11.21.08, 06:00 PM EST
Angry e-mails from HP to Microsoft could explain HP's skunk works project to build its own consumer
interface.
Watch your back, Monkey Boy. You may have messed with the wrong bunch of PC builders.
A court filing unsealed Thursday as part of a class-action lawsuit against
Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) revealed that Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ - news
- people ) Chief Executive Mark Hurd e-mailed Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer to complain
about HP's "call lines being overrun," with customers struggling to upgrade to Vista. "I'm sure
you're aware of this," Hurd added. The full text of the e-mail has not yet been released, but
Hurd's complaints to Ballmer are the latest signs of escalating tensions between HP and Microsoft
caused by the launch of Windows Vista in 2007.
The lawsuit accuses Microsoft of slapping labels on PCs that said the machines were Vista-capable
when they didn't have the processing power needed to run some of the operating system's most touted
features.
E-mails released Nov. 14 as part of the case show Richard Walker, the head of HP's PC business,
hinting at the customer trouble to come in a Feb, 1, 2006, e-mail to Ballmer and other members of
Microsoft's management team. "I hope this incident isn't a foretaste of the relationship I will
have with Microsoft going forward, but I can tell you that it's left a very bad taste," Walker
wrote. "The decision you have made has taken away an investment we made consciously for competitive
advantage knowing that some players would choose not to."
That e-mail triggered panic at Microsoft. Jim Allchin, then co-president of
Microsoft's platforms and services division, quickly sent a follow-up note to Ballmer. "I am beyond
being upset here," he wrote. Ballmer pointed the finger at Will Poole, then corporate vice
president for client business, which is responsible for the Windows operating system. "I had
nothing to do with this," Ballmer wrote. "Will [Poole] handled everything. ... You better get Will
under control." Poole scrambled to repair the damage. "Jim [Allchin] is rightly upset that hp went
non-linear after having intel break explicit agreement with me and tell them of the new plan b4 we
could explain and mitigate," Poole wrote in a note to Ballmer and other Microsoft executives on
Feb. 3, 2006. "I have that under control with hp, for now, but was very painful. Some vp at intel
is to blame, we don't know who yet."
Ballmer's e-mail response: "Great by me but Jim [Alchin] is apoplectic. I know nothing of the
details, please advise." Allchin retired from Microsoft in January 2007. Poole later moved to
Microsoft's Unlimited Potential group, dedicated to closing the "digital divide," before leaving
Microsoft earlier this year.
And while practically everyone associated with Vista at Microsoft is now gone, Walker remains at
HP. And in in a twist worthy of The Sopranos, Walker has assembled a group dedicated to putting its
own stamp on the Vista operating system.
HP's Customer Experience group, led by Susie Wee, has quietly put it ahead of Apple (nasdaq: AAPL -
news - people ), by some measures, at incorporating new elements such as touch sensitivity into
computer interfaces (see "Fixing Vista").
The $1,149 HP TouchSmart tx2 Notebook PC, launched this week, is the latest result of that effort.
It puts the touch-screen interface HP developed for its TouchSmart line of PCs onto a notebook
computer. Many had expected that Apple would release a notebook with a
touch-sensitive screen first. Instead, Apple incorporated the multitouch gestures used on the
iPhone into its notebooks' track pads.
The moves hint that HP could bring some of its research muscle to bear on PC software. The company
has plenty of operating-system expertise, selling machines running Linux, Windows and a number of
its own operating systems, including HP-UX, OpenVMS and NonStop.
If HP wanted to, it could easily slap its whizzy touch-sensitive interface onto Linux or even a
proprietary operating system. And with its lion's share of the worldwide PC market, such an
offering would be an instant threat to Microsoft. It would also protect HP from having to compete
with anyone who managed to cram Vista onto his machine, a thought that we know has occurred to more
than a few of the big brains in HP's engineering department.
"It's not very often you get pulled out of a meeting by a group of engineers who feel that they
have had the rug pulled out from underneath them so that any competitive advantage we may have had
in the marketplace is taken away, enabling any Tom, Dick or Harry with a PC containing a
non-compliant processor/chip set to play at the same table," one e-mail from an HP employee
read.
So will HP try to take out Windows? HP's Walker has the means, and the Vista
debacle gives him a motive. Ballmer better make damn sure that when Microsoft launches Windows 7 he
doesn't give him the opportunity.

conceivably continue, although it would no longer be a class-action with a large pool of
plaintiffs; instead, each plaintiff would have to sue Microsoft separately. A ruling for the
company on the summary judgment would effectively end the case./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"Unlike recent filings by the plaintiffs, which have been packed with quotations
from internal Microsoft e-mails that covered everything from a target="_blank"

would be compared to Apple#39;s Mac OS X, Microsoft#39;s motions were densely worded and full of
case citations./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"According to Microsoft, the plaintiffs have not
demonstrated that the lowest-priced version of Windows Vista was not the quot;realquot; Vista, or
showed that users paid more for PCs prior to the new operating system#39;s launch because of the
Vista Capable campaign. That means the plaintiffs have not met the legal standards set by Pechman,
and so have no case, the attorneys argued./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"quot;The evidence refutes
Plaintiffs#39; claims that Windows Vista Home Basic cannot #39;fairly#39; be called Windows
Vista,quot; Microsoft said in the motion for summary judgment. quot;Windows Vista Home Basic has
nearly all of the same computer code as the rest of the Windows Vista family, and ... Microsoft
never publicly defined Windows Vista in a way that would exclude Windows Vista Home Basic.quot;/pp
page="1" class="ArticleBody"Vista Home Basic, the lowest-priced and least-capable version of the
operating system, is a key to the Vista Capable lawsuit; the plaintiffs have argued that they
bought PCs before Vista#39;s January 2007 launch and expected them to be able to run more than just
Home Basic. That edition lacks several advanced features found in some or all of the other
versions, notably the Aero graphical user interface./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Elsewhere in
the motion, Microsoft claimed that Vista Home Basic shared 93 percent#160;of the code found in
Vista Home Premium, the next-most-expensive version and also the most popular of the consumer
editions./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"The lawyers also hammered at the price inflation reasoning
promoted by the plaintiffs. quot;Plaintiffs have no evidence that the Windows Vista Capable program
(#39;WVC program#39;) caused an artificial increase in the demand for or prices of Windows Vista
Capable PCs (#39;WVC PCs#39;) that were not Premium Ready,quot; the motion continued./pp page="1"
class="ArticleBody"Last February, when Pechman a target="_blank"
href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicamp;taxonomyId=89amp;articleId=9064520"granted
the case class-action status/a, she blocked the plaintiffs from arguing that Microsoft deceived
consumers because that would have required an individual determination for each member of the class
action. Instead, she allowed them to pursue a quot;price inflationquot; line of reasoning, which
would argue that PC buyers paid more than they would have otherwise, after Microsoft#39;s marketing
boosted demand and increased the prices of systems that could run Vista Home Basic./pp page="2"
class="ArticleBody"In the motion to decertify the class, Microsoft#39;s lawyers said that the
plaintiffs had not met the bar Pechman set when she allowed them to explore the price inflation
line. quot;With discovery closed, Microsoft asks the Court to decertify the class because
Plaintiffs have done nothing and propose to do nothing to further develop their price inflation
theory,quot; Microsoft said./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"Discovery, the legal procedure where
the each party is allowed to request documents from other, closed a week ago in the case. quot;The
Plaintiffs have no viable method of establishing class-wide causation,quot; the motion
continued./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"Over several pages, Microsoft argued that the economist
the plaintiffs brought in as an expert witness, Keith Leffler, of the University of Washington, had
been unable to come up with a way to quantify the impact of the Vista Capable program on PC prices
in the run-up to Vista./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"quot;Dr. Leffler admitted that he cannot
develop a model that would quantify the price inflation, if any, that supposedly affected the
class, much less do so across the entire class period,quot; the motion said. quot;That fact,
standing alone, mandates decertification.quot;/pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"Microsoft crafted the
Vista Capable program to keep sales of PCs from flagging as the new OS#39;s release loomed. A
message by a Microsoft director working on the campaign made it clear that was the top priority.
quot;The primary goal of Ready PC [ an earlier name for what would be recast as Vista Capable --
Ed. ] is to limit stall of XP PC sales as we continue to build Vista buzz,quot; said Rajesh
Srinivasan in October 2005. quot;We believe [the program requirements] strike a balance between
limiting impact on XP PC sales, ensuring OEM support and participation in the program and providing
a good customer experience after Vista upgrade.quot;/pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"The lawsuit,
which began in April 2007, has become best-known as the source for hundreds of Microsoft e-mails
that have been made public by the court. Earlier disclosures showed that Microsoft relaxed the
requirements of Vista Capable to a target="_blank"
