As many of you may or may not know, a report was released which was highly
critical of M$. The lead author of this report was Daniel Geer, CTO of
@stake. @stake is a partner in the Trustworthy Computing Initiative. Soon
after this report was released, Mr.. Geer was given his walking papers. I
believe that Microsoft had a hand in his resignation, and as such represents
a bad precedent.

While I do not believe this group should abandon its efforts to secure the
Windows OS, this news is very troubling to me.

Enclosed is copy of the report for all to read.
