What would you expect a MSFT detractor to say? Where would conspiracy theorists be without such grist for their mills?

Between the alleged outside hacks and all the trap doors that MSFT is supposedly installing at the behest of various government agencies and shadowy marketing groups it's amazing they have time to make any real changes at all. <g>

Easter eggs are always inserted with most of the development team knowing exactly what is going on (i.e. an easter egg is being checked in).

Charles,

"insert Easter Eggs into Microsoft code and them past the alleged 'rigorous processes'"

Maybe the terrorists are in charge of the "rigorous processes".

Windows XPatriate? Bill's the one who threatened to move the company to India during one of his tantrums, maybe Homeland Security should stop by Redmond for a quick chat about patriotism.

Cheers,
Norm
