Saw an article in yesterday's SMH stating that M$ are going to let
governments have access to 95% of the source code in their products, in an
effort to stem the tide of places who are pickup up OSS like Germany, China, 
Peru and everyone else who thinks there are US Government backdoors in the 
M$ products.

I suppose she will make a big fanfare and tell the Australian government that
M$ can now be considered OSS for government use only...  Shudder..
