Feel free to browse my VERY PUBLIC and VERY LOUD support for Microsoft on FR and elsewhere. I’m a Microsoft certified engineer and have been working on Windows platforms for 20 years. I am NOT an Apple fanboy, but I am also an IT security professional; and this entire thing was a BAD IDEA.

If you have no understanding of cryptography or digital encryption, I suggest you do some research. There are no security experts anywhere in the world who thought the bullying of Apple was good for business.

Facts don't matter to "just don't wanna know." Only his ignorant opinion counts. I've gone around and around with him about the binary nature of effective encryption, and what Apple was actually protecting here, but he refuses to listen. He ignores any article that says anything different from his opinion, claiming it's a lie published by Apple fanboys. . . so don't even bother to respond to his blathering. Also you won't get anything substantive as a way of proof from him. You'll find it more rewarding trying to nail jello to a wall.

Sword, you and I have had VERY heated discussions, and you know damn well that I’m a blue-blood Microsoft boy all the way through. This transcends platform. This is 1984-level shit here. If the government could bully any private entity into giving up the keys to their intellectual property, Katie bar the door!

“Facts don’t matter to “just don’t wanna know.”

I see what you did there. You clever rascal.

The level of ignorance and derangement upon display on this site in recent months is truly mind boggling.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.
