Vista Makes Forensic PC Exam Easier for Lawyers
Not a good news day for Microsoft:
Katharine writes “Jason Krause, a legal affairs writer for the American Bar Association’s ‘ABA Journal’ reports in the July issue that Windows Vista will be a boon for those looking for forensic evidence of wrongdoing on defendants’ PC’s and a nightmare for defendants who hoped their past computer activities would not be revealed. Krause quotes attorney R. Lee Barrett, ‘From a [legal] defense perspective, [Vista] scares me to death. One of the things I have a hard time educating my clients on is the volume of data that’s now discoverable.’ This is primarily attributable to Shadow Copy, TxF and Instant Search.”
