Microsoft, despite denials,
appears to be in bed with the NSA. Apparently all encryption and other
methods to keep documents and discussions private are bypassed and
accessible by the NSA and whomever it is working with. This means a
third party, for whatever reason, can easily access confidential
business deals, love letters, government classified memos, merger
paperwork, financial transactions, intra-corporate schemes, and
everything in between.
With that said, do you really want to buy a Microsoft product? Do you
want to buy anything that gives easy access to snoops poking around at
their leisure? If you'd think twice about this, then why would a foreign government
rely on Microsoft Office with any confidence? Personally, if I were any
foreign government or corporation, I'd stop using all Microsoft
products immediately for fear of America spying on me. Nothing can be
secret.
If I was a shareholder in any public company, I'd get up at the
annual meeting and ask if the company was using Microsoft products and
if so, I'd demand to know why it has not dumped them for something else . . .
