Dave,
MSNBC is reporting about Microsoft giving software as gifts to government
employees of over $500 value.

I am surprised by the weak response of the federal government sending a
letter to employees requiring them to return the software and requesting
Microsoft to stop sending it. From the article I gathered that Microsoft is
a subcontractor to the DOD and other departments. If any other DOD supplier
did such a thing we would have our head chopped off. The threat of the loss
of contracts and being banned from competing for future contracts would be
a reality.
