Are you ****ing serious?

Come on man, this isn't science fiction, nor is it a third world country. For that to -actually- be possible, do you have any idea how many people would have to be coerced in order for it to work? One person would never have the resources by himself to make that kind of change in the OS without anyone else in the entire company (or the world for that matter, one person probably isn't going to be able to make a change by himself that is so perfect that no one in the world will be able to notice, and everyone in the world uses windows except a forever limited percentage) And if they did get like the entire company or an entire team coerced, then the chances of one of them letting the cat out of the bag or slipping up and having someone else catch on is even greater. And if someone found out, do you realize how enormous of a deal that would be? That's like watergate s*** right there. The trust in the government, especially in the technology crowd, would go from low to zero overnight, and microsoft would see a public opinion it's never come close to dropping down to before. It's reasonable to keep issues like this in mind, but come on, let's try to be somewhat logical in our claims.
