<SNIP> Bush just hired the former Microsoft head of security to be his "go-to" man for creating an infrastructure to protect the security of US computer assets. <END SNIP> Now that scares me...knowing Microsoft's reputation in the Security Industry. I heard the new moto is over one billion vulnerabilities served.

Do you really think that they will ever again lift a hand against Microsoft? They only participated in the anti-trust action brought by the Clinton white house because they had no choice -- their pulling out of the case would have been far worse than continuing to a settlement that resulted in less than a wrist-slap.
And it didn't even take Billy-boy a billion to buy the US gov't.
