If Microsoft had a colorable right to this information, providing false information would be fraud: "Making a false representation, known to be false, upon which the party to whom the representation is made relies to its detriment." And I'm not, in the least, interested in getting into an argument about damages or whether Microsoft would prosecute this -- it doesn't matter to me in the least.
