This is from a Labour government. The last one invited Ceausescu to stay in 
Buckingham Palace, remember? Perhaps it's a premonition of where Gates will 
be in 10 years' time.

Remember the service that Gates is providing to the War on Terror. Perhaps the 
real reason the authorities don't want to save hundreds of billions by 
encouraging everyone to shift to Open Source is that they think the NSA, etc. 
would find it much more time-consuming to stealth-hack everyone's computers. 

And how far does the electoral-fraud system in the US depend on insecure M$ 
software? Labour is not far behind Bush in the elec-fraud stakes, and no 
doubt the other parties will be equally keen.
