TO THE COURT:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation of October 29, 2009, the Court has set the 

following schedule for class certification: discovery cutoff on March 5, 2010; motion due 

March 22, 2010; opposition due April 5, 2010; reply due April 9, 2010; hearing April 26, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the parties have engaged in substantial discussions about possible structures 

to settle this case;

WHEREAS, on February 17, 2010, Defendant produced versions of the Windows 

operating system that were installed on Acer computers sold in the United States during the 

proposed class period;

WHEREAS, Defendants are still in the process of preparing a list showing which version 

of the operating system was installed on each model computer it sold;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have retained an expert to identify any differences between (1) the 

versions of the Windows operating system that were installed on the Acer computers and (2) the 

same-named versions of the Windows operating system that were sold at retail and/or available 

under Microsoft’s standard OEM license; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ expert estimates that he will complete the analysis by April, 2010;

WHEREAS, after the expert analysis is complete, the parties will need additional time to 

continue their settlement discussions;

WHEREAS, the parties believe these settlement discussions will be most likely to succeed 

if the class certification discovery cutoff and briefing schedule are further continued; 

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE that the 

dates for class certification, including the discovery cut-off date, should be extended for 

approximately 120 days, so that the new dates will be as follows:

Discovery Cutoff: July 9, 2010

Motion Due: July 26, 2010

Opposition Due: August 9, 2010
