    An Anonymous Coward writes: "According to this article at Government Computer News, Microsoft has announced a month-long moratorium on new coding, as part of its Trustworthy Computing Initiative. Richard Purcell, director of the company's corporate computing office, said, 'We are not coding new code as of today' [Feb 1, 2002] 'for the next month.' The idea seems to be that Redmond will spend the 28 days of February patching bugs in existing code. Is this a hoax, or maybe just marketing hype? The web site looks to be legitimate."

As a point in fact, The New York Times reportedly obtained a copy of the farewell e-letter to 42 of Bush's friends. Just how bad can it get? Here is an old news report from The Associated Press via amarillonet of an auction of the 1992 e-mail to John Glenn. Privacy advocates should be scared ..." And an Anonymous Coward who points to the same article asks: "Whatever happened to the right of the people to be secure in their ... papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures?" Good question -- what did happen to that?
