Microsoft and Best Buy slammed on Supreme Court appeal
INQUIRER Newsdesk , Monday 15 October 2007. 17:23:00
What a racket
MICROSOFT AND BEST BUY are in the doghouse after the Supreme Court rejected an appeal against the two from customers saying they were improperly charged for Microsoft’s MSN Internet service, reports Reuters. Disgruntled customers claimed in the lawsuit that employees of a Best Buy unit activated an MSN trial account without consent or knowledge from the users, after they bought certain products. Credit and debit card information was allegedly forwarded to the Vole, which was used to pay for the connection after the trial period had ended.
