It's a matter of progress over the rules. IMHO Microsoft makes a decent piece of software, granted it is full of holes and bloat, because they worry less about function and more about form.
Most acts of progress stem from acts of defiance,the art of code and what it can create. You take a service which has an excellent concept and move a group of programmers to improve upon it and make it better then the original piece of software, of coarse because this is removing revenue and not coming from the programmers at Microsoft then it must be eliminated, it would be much more intelligent to take a look at why these projects pop up and try to assimilate some ideas and/or programmers into their fold. Personally I like a lot less bloat and not to worried about how pretty it looks.
Is it wrong to access a system unauthorized and unlicensed, yes. Do I agree with Microsoft in shutting them out, I do. It is of coarse their prerogative, but I still wish to see greater things come from it, and unfortunately that will come from outside of Redmond.
That though is just my opinion.
