I think it is time to move everything to Linux. According to this article the NSA has had a backdoor to Windows since 95. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/06/nsa-has-total-access-via-microsoft-windows/" target="_blank">http://www.wnd.com/2013/06/<u></u>nsa-has-total-access-via-<u></u>microsoft-windows/</a> <br>
I seem to recall Ubuntu had/has some sort of backdoor also. <br>
