Everyone knows how Microsoft treats their partners. Just look at Sendo. Microsoft will work with you, pat you on the head, tell you what a good job you're doing offer to look through all your code and technical specifications for you, then steal the lot and reproduce exactly the same thing themselves 2 weeks before you announce it. You'll then take them to court and get involved in a massively drawn-out court case that eventually bankrupts you, your company, your family and your friends. If you're very lucky, you may get out of them half of what you lost. But you'd have to be very very lucky.

Just say "no".
