An absolute total waste of tax payers money. It shouldn't be a criminal case. It should be a civil case between Microsoft and Alex Kibkalo.

I'm very shocked.....I'm shocked that nobody has thought or mentioned the fact that Microsoft snooped the Hotmail account belonging to one of the ex-employee's contacts. So not only did Microsoft take it upon themselves to Scroogle the privacy of a Hotmail account without a court order or warrant, but the account didn't belong to the ex-employee. It belong so some blogger. This is how they got their evidence.

This is why I LOATH the Scroogle ads and the holier-than-thou perception that MS puts out because it's false. And this will (and has) come back on them by critics ten fold. Unreal. More bad PR to come for MS.
