Who needs "nefarious" backdoors, when Microsoft can just present them as "features" for users, that law enforcement can use just as easily, if not more so than a backdoor?
I'd love for Microsoft to do out-of-the-box encryption while keeping the keys in the TPM, in all Windows 10 laptops, just like Android 5.0 and iOS 8.0, but it's not going to happen. Microsoft has too much of a cozy relationship with law enforcement to do something like that.
It's not just a coincidence that it is the first company to join PRISM, or that Skype was added to PRISM not when it was owned by the Swedish, not when it was owned by eBay, but the same month Microsoft announced its acquisition.
