Government spooks helped Microsoft build Vista

[Rick Tomaschuk]

Not everybody is as informed on all aspects of IT as you are. I actually
get some email commending me on some of my postings. I've traveled
throughout the US and have been to many well known companies plant
facilities. IT is a small part of industry. I may not be 100% informed
on IT but I do know about industry and free speech. I may not please
everyone but I do have freedom and the right to freely use software at
heart. Peace.
