You didn't happen to go to UT Austin, did you? Not long ago, I noticed
that UT's Business School had suddenly started teaching Web design
courses which caused the students to produce Web pages that ONLY worked
with Microsoft Internet Explorer. It turned out that one of their
instructors had been named a "Microsoft Scholar" -- and was being paid
to hawk products and create courses that would lock schools and students 
into Microsoft software.
