Basically, this has been known about for >14 years and it's probably nothing to worry about.

This is the most scary news I've read in the past week. Makes Stallman's 'The road to Tycho' a conservative, unimaginative piece on the power of governments.

It is wnd.com, a lot of it comes right from their imagination.

See other comments re: NSAKEY, Schneier's is probably the best summary as usual.

This is a terribly written, horribly sourced, mash up of information that has been known for some time.

>Access to Windows source code is supposed to be highly compartmentalized, actually making such actions easier because many of the people working on the software wouldn’t see the access.

Uhm, okay.
