The excuse for MS having encryption in Windows which is known to have back doors in it, combined with the idea that this move was done because of XP service being terminated seems nonsensical. Given the police state nation that we live in, I would *guess* this has something to do with the audit possibly going to turn up a government-mandated back door, or the government compromising TC in the way that Lavabit was forced to close. > Does anyone have further information?
