What an interesting bit of hogwash and pork-barrel politics this is turning into.

"... Unlike the states' proposed remedy, the federal settlement proposal that 
Microsoft and the Department of Justice agreed to in November contains a carve-out 
that permits Microsoft to withhold API and protocol disclosures if such disclosures 
would compromise security. The provision is designed to address hackers, viruses and 
piracy, according to Allchin. ... During his second day on the stand, Allchin conceded 
that Microsoft has already identified at least one protocol and two APIs that it plans 
to withhold from public disclosure under the security carve-out."
