A National Security Agency director bragged to a Senate subcommittee last week about his agency's close "cooperation" with Microsoft to "enhance" how Windows 7 guards a user's privacy. If that doesn't make you run down to the nearest Apple Store, I don't know what would!
The spooks at the NSA are notorious for their role in monitoring internet activity, and for their use of illegal warrantless wiretaps to monitor U.S. phone conversations. So computer users ought to be extremely worried to hear that the NSA has "partnerships" with Microsoft, which makes their operating systems; Intel, which makes their wireless chipsets; and McAfee, which makes their antivirus software.
