Windows 8 is an unacceptable security risk for companies and authorities, experts warn the government. The so-called Trusted Computing is a back door for the NSA. From Patrick Beuth
"Confidentiality and integrity is not guaranteed"
Instead, Microsoft could decide which programs can be installed on the computer, make already established programs unusable and subsequently help intelligence to control other computers.

The NSA/Snowden-affair WILL cost the IT-industry billions of dollars, and has already. All because foreign companies are not trusting the security of their data in the US-based cloud services anymore.
Hey, thank you, NSA.
We will save our data over here, because, you know.. your spying and copying of our companies valuable data as soon as it crosses into the USA!
And this will cost you dearly. Really, really dearly.
Maybe you people over there haven't realized it yet (NSA spying on other countries? Who cares?), but no *freaking* company in the world is trusting your cloud services anymore!
Have a nice one!

I didn't hear a shred of "ignorance" or "arrogance" in ManFromEurope's post.
So that's just not fair.

So are we just all going to pretend that China hasn't been hacking us for years and stealing as much information as they can on almost every possible industry?
Are we gonna also pretend that the growing number of terror based hacking groups can't breach into systems and do what they want to get their message across?
I might not trust the NSA completely, but i trust them a hell of a lot more then i trust our enemies.

And here it comes... Your enemies are created by yourselves, nothing more, nothing less. Your desire to "bring democracy" to other countries has created countless wars and enemies. I weep for the americans that hate their consecutive war mongering conflict creating governments.
