Yeah...Microsoft is the one highlighted right now for some reason. I suspect we'll hear about the others shortly. Makes you wonder why Microsoft was singled-out, though. Think Google paid Snowden's plane ticket?

I think that was me. My disclaimer was that they were sending everything to NSA automatically. In this case, it's still on a "per request" type basis right (or am I misunderstanding)? Even still, I expect foreign customers to re-evaluate the use of services provided by US companies (or at least, encrypt at their own end), and a bunch will leave. Given the revelations over the past month, I doubt Microsoft's the only one. I also suspect I'm not getting an Xbox One (or at least, I'm switching it off at powerpoint, when not in use) Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ben Scott Sent: Friday, 12 July 2013 10:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Uhhh...

I await the announcements of everyone switching to Linux. ;-) -- Ben
