Uh, Windows *is* a back door. Every script kiddie on the block will have access to your systems, not the US authorities. If you want security you won't run it. End of story.

You don't really have to have a paranoid state of mind to wonder about Windows back doors, now do you? MSFT has put in back doors in the past. Whatever else it showed, the anti-trust trial demonstrated that MSFT has no real ethica compass.
