I know this may come as a surprise to many people, but there are other places and Governments in the world too, and they too use MS! It shows complete irresponsibility on MS' part to favour one Government over all others in disclosure and bug-fix policy. IMNSHO one more reason for the rest of the world to switch to non-proprietary products and solutions.
