You forget the other half of the coin. Your EULA states that that you agree to use the software only in a specific manner and that you agree not to say anything derogatory about the product of parent company. Sounds like the passport agreement will allow them to legally read e-mail to ensure the EULA's aren't violated.
Also, anyone else remember that MS documents have codes embedded in them that relate to the machine the document originated on?
Heh, anyone want to review some of the quick and dirty Perl code that I've kludged up over the years? (Hint: it's not pretty but it works.) Just kidding! Code review is a good idea.
Did he really mean to use the word license instead of certification? If he meant license, he also meant laws to prevent unlicensed programmers. You don't see very many bridges designed by unlicensed engineers now, do you?
One obvious thing about this "test". They used Microsoft clients! Impress me buy throwing in Netscape (Unix) browsers, file transfers to/from a Mac, and (the real killer where I work) mail transfer to/from a RFC-compliant SMTP MTA.
Use THOSE statistics. Until then, would somebody tell those idiots that there aren't that man all-Microsoft IT shops in the world. Convince them that there is no such thing as one tool for all jobs. Each OS does a specific function best. (Or would you rather work on your car with nothing buy a Leatherman?)

Of course you do! If you stack 'em like firewood, all you end up with is a big lumpy file with nothing but feet and heads sticking out.
