Obviously MS is downplaying it but on the other side the BSI creates a huge stir to create the image that it is useful in someway and to avoid becoming an obscure agency that is mentioned only in passing in a couple of tech news articles. That's not to say that what they are doing is bad it's just that their are two sides and the ordinary computer user probably has still no idea what's going on.

- heja2009 14y agoThe BSI is in the German media fairly regularly with advice about private and commercial information security and has a good reputation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Office_for_Information_Security http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Office_for_Information_...
- quonn 14y agoSince it doubles as the German equivalent of the NSA, I don't think it is worried about justifying its existence.
