New He's got a pretty good case
Listened to the show...and he seems to have a pretty valid series of justifications for his thinking.

New Yup
Good pod-cast. He LOVES MS. It is his life, his career, his every moment (or so it seems). And now he can no longer trust them (I guess he's a bit to the game in that area) and it really shook him up.

New Is there more in it that what was in the transcript?
Because I read that and it sounds like he doesn't know what he really "found" yet.

FWIW MS doesn't seem to think there's much to it:

but that's what they want you to think.

New Where'd you find a transcript?
Since I don't have an iPod, a podcast is only slightly less useless than a toothache.

New On GRC

Not a lot of meat there, though.

Cheers,

New Sysinternals verdict: Not a back door
An insecure design from a more "innocent" time, overlooked by Microsoft's much vaunted security reviews.
