Analysis, linkage, and comments should be saved (Score 1)

There are legitimate points about deleting the posts containing the entire text of the spec, but there is little basis for Microsoft to contend that it is a trade secret and this would essentially nullify a portion of their argument. The copyright matter may be degraded as well.

Slashdot cannot allow itself to eliminate open analysis, page references, or discussion about widely available material (or even not-so-widely available material). One can download something from Microsoft's site, do some research, and make comments. There's nothing wrong with that, even if the research indicates how to circumvent committing to an EULA.

Microsoft pressures it's own business partners--what would happen if it is successful at doing so to the anti-Microsoft's of the world?
