> and he is using Windows !? WTF. He is going against his own advice - to use public/free software as often as possible. It is weird, but I saw it coming. He has always used Windows. Back early 2000s it was because that was what his company was standardized on, and that was to make things simplest software distribution-wise. They did network security solutions (consulting-style, IIRC) and it may have been it was easiest to match their clients. I take it he hasn't bothered to migrate since then. I'm curious to know which version of Windows, but I kind of assume it will be 7. XP was too security-poor, Win8 is too new. Security people who use Windows tend to lag major revs by a little (like most software releases). For the record, the irony here isn't that a security guy is using Windows, it's that he's using Windows for security as he reports on deliberately backdoored commercial software.
