I had a look at the Herald article 
 
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3510183&thesection=busine
ss&thesubsection=technology&thesecondsubsection=information

I am appalled at Software Images:

	"Software Images general manager David Hill denied there was a
non-compete agreement with Microsoft. 

	But the existence of a 15-page contract with a non-compete clause
was confirmed by Microsoft competitive strategy manager Brett Roberts." [1]

I personally would never use or recommend Software Images when they give
this sort of 'service'. If they had come straight out with a 'sorry, we
can't do that because of a non-compete clause' then I would think that they
had just made a bad business decision, but not being up front about it just
sucks.

[1] 'Competitive strategy'?  WTF.
