Ignore The words from Fuchs. He is _the_ folks (sic) mentioned in (4). With
much of your a analysis I fully agree but let us add a fresh point aptly
numbered (5), which is Windows Vista encrypting its filesystem and giving
the keys only to who knows who... they say it prevents piracy and is
supported at motherboard (Intel) level, I suspect. Interaction with other
server is the main accusation by the EC, so this couldn't come at a worse
time.
