Microsoft Settles TestKing Case

Microsoft has settled their suit with leading "braindump" site TestKing.com. This will hopefully be the start of other braindumps going down as well. For those of you that don't know, or haven't taken a certification test, you must agree to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to not discuss or disseminate the material in any way out side of the testing room. This is to protect the value of the certifications. Read more about the settlement here.
