If MS has back doors in their OS it doesn't matter how secure your online habits are, honestly it's like putting a band-aid on the end of a hacked off limb.

They said he would never ride again. He proved them wrong. Got himself a bike, modified it to left arm left lef only control. Taught himself to get on the bike and ride the race track. Moral of the story: if a stump is all you have then do what you can with what you have where you are and make the most of it.
