This talk of "lesser evil" is so trite. For one their users/consumers are usually grandfathered so they are unaffected. Also you say that as if MS never discontinued WebDAV support in Exchange 2010. I'm sure I don't need to tell you were embrace extend extinguish came from, to which you are alluding to.
