A federal judge in Seattle Friday certified it but narrowed its complaint to whether the Vista-capable label PCs sported artificially created PC demand during the 2006 holiday season before Vista was available when OEMs worried sales would be depressed for lack of the delayed OS and inflated the price of PCs that couldn’t be upgraded.
