    a few years ago there was a bit of a protest by the beta testers for Visual Studio 2005.
    The prizing structure for the Beta testers was something like:
    The 10 best testers were all being given copies of Visual Studio 2005 professional (worth a few hundred quid)
    The next 50 best beta testers were all being given an xbox for their efforts (worth a couple of hundred quid).

    Given than VS comes on a few CD's which can be printed off for a few pence there was a general consensus that MS was not exactly being fair with its prize giving.

      Grats Mr Churchy
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      C.S. Lewis
