Microsoft Backs School Privacy Bill Taking Aim at Google - WSJ.com

Schroolgled? (school + Scroogled)
"The bill, introduced in January, appears to take aim at Google's growing business of providing basic software like email and word processing over the Internet, which, in turn, is a growing threat to Microsoft's cash-cow suite of Office tools.
The proposed legislation would prohibit companies that provide schools with "a cloud-computing" service—a digital service accessed via the Web—from using the information gleaned from schoolchildren for advertising or other commercial purposes.
Microsoft acknowledges it is behind the Massachusetts legislation and that the bill is aimed at business practices employed by Google."
