In what is thought to be the first case of email cheating in the UK, the board of examiners at Edinburgh University withdrew the grades of 117 students in July after allegedly finding evidence of cheating in email records. In response the students set up a Web site denying the accusations and threatening to sue the University for defamation.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
