Microsoft claims UK retailer sold counterfeit Windows recovery CDs
Microsoft noted that the recovery CDs were sold to customers who had purchased Windows-loaded PCs and laptops. Comet operates 248 stores as well as an online shopping site.
As detailed in the complaint filed today, Comet produced and sold thousands of counterfeit Windows CDs to unsuspecting customers in the United Kingdom, Microsoft associate general counsel David Finn said in a statement posted on Microsoft's website. Comets actions were unfair to customers. We expect better from retailers of Microsoft productsand our customers deserve better, too.
