I know for a fact Intel and Microsoft are involved.
Someone in a Intel staff meeting two years ago said something he shouldn’t have.
Its not on the books, nor is it coming out of Intel’s budget.
The $$$ is coming directly from the Feds.
I don't know about Intel, but from everything I have learned over the years about u-feathers (microsoft) I would not be at all surprised if even more backdoors appear as time goes by.
