> while I don't think it's automatic that Kaspersky would do the Russ gov 'favors' What's with this amazing inability of us Westerners to learn from past mistakes and endless optimism about benevolent intention of others? You'd think we would have corrected this by now, eg. after http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/russiagov/putin.htm http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/russiago.... Personally FYI, I understand the optimism, but less so the inability to learn. TL;DR Sorry, it's automatic. No such thing as ex-KGB. [/End of rant].
