Microsoft read some guys mails to find a leak in the company.

  And it's not true that "nothing happened" in that case. Microsoft was publicly beaten up a bit, and then changed their policy to say they will no longer do that.

    > Microsoft was publicly beaten up a bit, and then changed their policy to say they will no longer do that. What? No. They saw the PR pouncing they were taking, so they hired a former judge to rubber stamp such things in the future, and had the gall to call it a "judicial process" (even though the guy is just a microsoft employee at this point).
