Microsoft Tries To Prevent Further Discovery
An anonymous reader notes the considerable irony in Microsoft asking for relief from further discovery in the Windows Vista Capable debacle.

On the grounds that it makes my client look bad!
Perhaps if you then told them that the 20th century has been over for nearly a decade, they might ponder on why older versions of Windows have a 19th century security model.
Ignore this signature. By order.
Microsoft produces the documents and torpedos their class action status
or
Microsoft doesn't produce the documents (citing that the documents no longer exist) and torpedos any remaining myths about reliability in window server systems and Microsoft Exchange
Brilliant, its a win-win situation.
