Insuficcient motivation.

Simple. Make that policy, Pass the word down. Those who don't do get 
canned.  Those who do well with this policy get promoted. We must assume 
that Microsoft is able to act as a cohesive corporate entity; translating 
policy (technical and otherwise) from policy-makers to all appropriate 
levels of the organization.
  
Unless you're talking about "trojan ports" or other silly games.
If you are, PLEASE desist from replaying that kind of stuff. I sense
this kind of strategy is well-understood on the list.

{Lots of interesting technology stuff elided for brevity. Whether is has
 any relevence or not might be another thread, but not the one I want to

the target of ridicule.
