Ummm, against my better judgement... Seriously, and with all due respect, the Federal Government would not want backdoors in MS software, or any other software, for "political freedom"...they want it to track the activities of "undesirables", ie. people exercising their rights to freedom of speech, association, and the like. Backdoors are a Bad Thing, no matter who puts them in. *My* computer is *my* computer, damned be he who tries to corrupt it against my will and without my knowledge. There *is* no excuse for a government spying on it's citizens without due process of law, at the very least, and in my case no excuse at all. It is totalitarianism.
