HP Uses FBI's Software?

It's no secret that Windows has back doors (deliberate ones). The German,
Chinese, and French government know it. Could this explain why Microsoft
would not open up/disclose protocols as the EC demanded? It gets worse,
however, when back doors are slammed open for everyone to enter. Take the
latest Windows flaw, whose severity level is "extremely critical". Imagine
coping with the same in Linux. Someone tells you that your machine can be
hijacked and all the files deleted at any time. Remedy? None. Just sit and
wait for a patch. Schedule for a patch? None. Result? User is led to a state
of unrest and fear.
