doesnt the NSA have a supposed hidden key inside a windows dll (advapi.dll)? (http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=000051) But i dont think that the NSA and the DOD get along too well together.

Well, i think that forcing the DOD to do some research on propietary versus open-source has generated a benefit towards the open-source community, because MS' plan backfired and they figured that open-source was even better than they first thought.

Why can't MS learn something?

Open Source = Good.

Closed Source = Bad.

Propriatary = Bad & Expensive.

Windows = Closed source and Propriatary.

I think they already know it but:

if
 
Open Source == Good
Closed Source == Bad
Windows == Closed Source

then

Microsoft = Out of Business

end

Hey CTRL, maybe I had you figured wrong. You reveal prime gray matter at times.
