In a filing late yesterday, lawyers for the plaintiffs in the "Vista Capable" lawsuit argued that the case should continue even as Microsoft Corp. appeals the earlier decision to grant the case class-action status.
Among their arguments: Pushing on with the lawsuit would help consumers because Microsoft may be in the midst of similar internal discussions about a future "Windows 7 Capable" program.
Microsoft's request to put the case on hold while its appeal works its way through the Ninth Circuit Court, said the lawyers, was nothing more than a maneuver to prevent the disclosure of more internal e-mails.
