Microsoft is clearly doing this as well, as part of their Office365 hosted email solutions. It can easily be seen by reviewing any campaign report for a bulk-send campaign with over 5000 contacts including MSFT domains outlook.com, hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com.....as well as hosted domains for MSFT clients. The platform artificially opens the email (inflating open reporting) and artificially clicks the first 10 or so links and does security checking (inflating click reporting). Try putting hidden links at the top of any email content then check the campaign report to see how many clicks are on those links....they're non-human.
