Microsoft challenges order advancing Vista suit

Seattle PI | at | by Mike

Microsoft is trying to overturn a federal judge's order creating a nationwide class-action lawsuit that claims the company misled consumers about which computers can run its most advanced Vista operating system.

The company Friday filed papers seeking to challenge a Seattle federal judge's order recognizing a class of consumers who bought a personal computer certified by Microsoft as "Windows Vista capable" without indicating whether the machines could run the premium version of the software, its attorneys said.
