Microsoft Corp. on Friday asked that a lawsuit claiming it duped consumers in a Windows Vista marketing program be suspended while the company appeals a judge's decision to grant the case class-action status.
If granted, the motion would also postpone any new disclosures of potentially embarrassing company e-mails. Last month, the release of similar documents showed that top-level company executives struggled with the new operating system on machines labeled "Vista Capable," and that partners such as Dell Inc. warned Microsoft that the campaign would confuse consumers.

I believe they are bound by corporate and business law too keep a record of all communications among other things. I know the reason companies have been slow to addopt IM use inhouse is due to requirnments to keep an audit trail. The IM clients that are becoming usefull in big businesses seem to be the one's that provide proper logging directly.
Stupid was discussing it over email but retaining the email is a requirnment they can't avoid.

Well, getting back to the subject at hand... I want to see some more of those embarrassing emails MS is trying to avoid having exposed! :-)
You'd think they would have learned not to exchange potentially embarrassing material via email by this time, as many times as they've been burned in the past. Who says MS learns from past mistakes? ;-)
