I'M usually up near the top of the queue when it comes to decrying Americans for their litigiousness, but, for once, I'm right behind a bunch of Californian company who have leapt to court to seek redress.
Their target? Why none other than William Gates and Microsoft.
Anyway, it seems that a superior court judge in San Francisco has allowed a group of Californians to go forward with a
class action suit against Microsoft claiming the company charged them too high a price for software. More power to your elbow, say I.
Anyway, you can check the progress as it slowly starts to take over Britain on their website. Don't expect much in the way of trial coverage, though.
