Reliance on Microsoft Called Risk to U.S. Security (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030924/ts_nm/tech_security_microsoft_dc_1)

Perhaps not interesting to many but I found this rather interesting considering a few comments about Linux i.e. UNIX awhile back on this forum.

This reminds me of something I read a few months ago: that Microsoft has agreed to provide China with the source code to Windows.

I also read elsewhere that China has teams of experts working on ways to hack Windows and conduct cyber-warfare (such as denial-of-service attacks) as part of their overall military options.

any one or country that ties its existence to having the computer networks working all the time deserves what it gets. -----wait a minute----- my income from the 2+2 site comes from that. never mind.
