Good for the Germans. Too bad the NSA will crack through anything they do anyhow. I guess they just want to make the NSA work for its intelligence. Now if we just get the US Navy to realize that it's not smart to have MS software running out ships. Remember, back doors once found are like front doors.

All I have to say is what about all those Winbloze users in the US? Everyone is
open to the prying eyes of the NSA, and just accepts it?

Thankfully, hackers also have these keys.

Don't count on the NSA for everything... Even though they are approximately 3 times larger then the FBI and CIA combined! Wouldn't you love to know what they are really up to. You know their national funding is almost five times that of NASA!!! DAMN

That makes the list US Army, US Navy, Cisco Systems, First National Bank, and now Germany.

Anyone else wanna make predictions as to which agencies/companies are going to ban Microsoft products next?
