The subject of "Computing" is much larger than Microsoft

"I also believe that the actual Exams are specifically focused on Microsoft platforms either explicitly or implicitly which means that deploying and teaching OpenSource applications would not enable the students to pass there exams."

So exactly how shallow are the subjects that are being examined upon? If, as you imply, the subjects being taught are thinly disguised vehicles for Microsoft products then it sounds like the MPs are right to be concerned.
