"The court-mandated committee overseeing Microsoft's compliance with a federal antitrust settlement has commenced reviews on the company's next major operating system to ensure it meets the settlement's terms. The so-called Technical Committee recently received a build of Windows 7 from Microsoft and is checking it for any features that might violate the agreement. Presumably, most heavily under scrutiny is whether the OS causes host computers to favor Microsoft applications over third-party software - a practice the federal government cited in its original complaint against the company."

But what do you expect guys? MS is a monopoly thats where goverment steps in and asks for the right exploits and backdoors that eventually gets discovered by crackers who give a lill joy to the script kiddies . I like better projects like Nlite/microwinx which bring the trust to the John Doe User not the goverments.
