 Where are you getting these amazing quotes?

 Microsoft has knowingly and willfully concealed information regarding 
 security flaws in computer hardware from the [National Security Agency] out 
 of fear that revealing such flaws would reduce the number of copies of its 
 products that would be purchased by the government... I have raised this 
 issue internally with Microsoft, and in return have been the subject of 
 both bribes and threats.  -ED CURRY, Computer Security Specialist, in a

I vaguely remember that the NSA now use their own version of Linux.  Not 
surprising after an exchange like that.
