If MSFT competitors had a cavalier attitude such as that, they would get eaten alive.

Umm.. WE (SUNW) *are the 'competitors'. All of them. <g>

It's the PARTNERS who get eaten alive.

Well talking about cavaliar how's this one:

wired.com

Yes, it appears good old MSFT (the dirtballs of US corporations) has created a back door to every copy of Windows straight to the NSA. Another reason to stay away from MS Office, Windows, and head for Open Source and Linux.

Possible scenario: MSFT gives government a back door to the NSA, the government gives MSFT a slap on the wrist in their antitrust suite. Sounds convenient to me.
