Skype has a little known feature called private conversations. This uses the Signal protocol and even lets you delete the metadata afterwards. I don't think many people noticed at the time, that BillG took being prosecuted by the government very hard indeed. William H Gates III "Trey"to his oldest friends, is American establishment : daddy was Nixon's attorney and mom sat on the board of IBM. Neither do I remember many people who ostensibly cared a great deal about the Microsoft anti trust case, following the actual litigation when it was happening. I read every word and watched as much as I could of the trial. Gates was a disaster on the witness box but nothing least because the allegations - charges and basis of charges - were so universally preposterous in their formation. The New Old Thing blog basically tells you what Justice should have found out in their discovery process and consequently narrowed the case to something other than a massive spite bomb. Reportedly Gates underwent a nervous breakdown of some serious nature midway through his epic examination on the stand. Microsoft were the last I looked the only major not to have backed away from a agreement to enforce the minimum of legality requirements for LEO access to personal information and accounts and Microsoft was spending close to one billion dollars annually merely to reject ludicrous illicit and unfounded demands for access to accounts. I don't know any other cloud computing company who will let me hold the only hardware key to my infrastructure across their cloud and using the same infrastructure and integrations (Thales, a major French defence contractor is the supplier and the solutions pretty good in my experience). At least I'm not surprised that few hail Microsoft for their efforts - advertising flipping fingers at the most self righteous authority establishment for generations isn't probably the best idea.
