The authorities should instead start an inquiry of Botmaster Gates, who created
and spread (using deliberate 'piracy') and O/S with back doors.

Microsoft recently acknowledged puttingback doors in Windows, for 'special'
authorities, whoever that may be. As Schneier testified, it's inevitably bound
