    According to a report on ITVibe, Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive and President of Microsoft has said in a statement:

    "I can assure you that we know there has been no compromise of the integrity of the source code; that it has not been modified or tampered with in any way."

    Am I the only one that thinks this is a STRANGE coincidence, considering that we're only a few months from electing the MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD using UNAUDITABLE-US-GOVERNMENT-APPROVED, WINDOWS 2K and NT VOTING MACHINES?

    For the sake of FAIRNESS, incormation about Microsoft Government Lobbying can be researched here

    Look at how far we[the US]'ve come in the past 4 years:
    DMCA
    CAPPS
    UCITA
    etc...

    Just think of what another 4 US Republican years can offer!

    During the last Democracy "the Clinton era" all we had to worry about were sex and drugs; and the proliferation of the internet, and technology, etc - but I digress...

    To Bush's credit - he does have a few accomplishments under his belt: As "Commander-in-Chief" (did he serve in the military?), we did observe the most destructive attack EVER in in US history.

    He made up for it, however, by sending several hundreds of Americans to their DEATHs (as of Feb. 2004) (about 25% of those that died on Sept. 11th), to protect us from [as of now] UNDISCOVERED Weapons of Mass Distruction.

    I feel much safer now.

    Be very afraid people... November is going to bring about some SERIOUS fireworks in the US. If you're not a US citizen, don't fret; because your country will surely be next.

    Microsoft's source code "leak" is only the beginning.
