Microsoft has been claiming for years that adherence to standards is
not a requirement. While they are certainly entitled to their opinion,
I would definitely disagree. A quick perusal of http://slashdot.org/
would tend to discredit your remark that, "doubt anyone makes a choice
on an MTA (or any other software) based on it's RFC-compliance" statement.

As always, selection of tools and their suitability to the task is left
up to the end user.
