There’s a new twist in the “Windows Vista Capable” lawsuit that brought us all those behind-the-scenes e-mails last week: Microsoft has petitioned a federal appeals court in an attempt to overturn the judge’s Feb. 22 decision granting the lawsuit class-action status.The company is also asking U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman to stop the case from proceeding while its appeal of the class certification is pending. Among other things, if that request were granted, the company wouldn’t be required to produce additional internal documents to the plaintiffs’ lawyers, until the appeal is resolved.

On one score, Yahoo has been extremely receptive to an offer from Microsoft. With its Yahoo Messenger for Vista, the Internet company has been one of the few consumer software companies to come out with a Windows Vista-specific product. The instant messenger program doesn’t have a lot of extra features (in some cases it has fewer than the generic Windows version). What it does have is an extremely pleasant look and feel. Using the Windows Presentation Foundation graphics engine built into Vista, the program smoothly resizes Windows and moves buddy icons around based on the screen real estate available.
