Considering the situation -- considering that RSA has even signed on
to this scheme -- I'd have to say that I don't give a rat's ass what
Bill Gates claims. If Micro$oft bucks the system, I'll gladly
applaud their stand.
The situation is not good at all.
Cracking DES (whether distributed or through a hardware crack, or
both!) seems critical at this point.
