Windows 2000 Wide Open

Regardless of Microsoft's assurances that the whole NSA backdoor scandal from last week (story) was just a lot of unsubstantiated hype, a real and potentially serious backdoor has been discovered in Beta 3 of Windows 2000.

Microsoft plans to address this in Release Candidate 2, which is expected soon.
