No Appeal For "Vista Capable"...Law Suit
Microsoft's latest attempt to derail the "Vista Capable" class-action law suit via another appeal has been stymied:
"In a brief order dated April 21, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Microsoft's request to overturn a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman in February that granted class-action status to a lawsuit that charges the company deceived consumers in 2006 with its Windows Vista Capable marketing program."
Perhaps the best part about Microsoft's appeal is that it usually means they have submitted internal and/or external documents that will probably be made public. Those documents tend to be a gold mine of information about the less-than-cozy world of what used to be jokingly referred to as the 'Win-Tel' relationship.
