On a serious note, there have been many rumors that MS escaped the US Gov
ripping them into two companies (ie Anti Trust case) *because* they did
make a deal with the US gov...I for one do believe that there was some kind
of a deal made. I bet the US gov would love to have a backdoor in the MS
products throughout the World...now that is a spy's dream come true...
