As a physicist, I took a serious interest in the physics and math courses. A few are outstanding, providing lecture notes, worked examples, etc., but the majority have very little material. Frequently just a list of textbooks and a schedule - the sort of thing every college instructor posts for every course anyway.
... that I often have to use google to track down an MSDN or Knowledgebase article that Microsoft can't find on their own website. Google does a much bettter job of genrating a complete and accurate index of MSDN than Microsoft does!
What irritates me the most is that they dump another new copy of WGA onto my computer every month and actually force me to accept a license agreement for the damn thing!
In evaluating someone's research, Einstein said he was not impressed by the kind of carpenter who drills lots of holes where the wood is thinest! That seems to be what the authors are doing here - I am unimpressed by being able to speed up the solution to a 3 minute bug in a 90 minute project. I want to see what they can do to solve that 3 week bug in a 30 man-year distributed system...

A company that exhibits this level of judgement will not be in business for long. This ranks right up there with Sony's rootkit DRM implementation...
