On the security of Windows 7 Microsoft may argue for hours. Manufacturer claims that this version of Windows is the most secure among all operating systems developed by Microsoft, but before the manufacturer does not mention that its super-safety is a result of cooperation with the National Security Agency (National Security Agency, NSA).

According to the source, NSA, trade secret security organization, which often turns out to be "actor" spy thrillers and conspiracy theories, are working with Microsoft, which, according to Richard Schaeffer (Richard Schaeffer), NSA Director of Information Security, saw that the NSA " strengthened our unique experience and knowledge of threats and vulnerabilities of the operating system to improve the security of the operating system to Microsoft without limiting the user's ability in carrying out his daily tasks. "

National Security Agency is not the first time intervened in the creation of operating systems. NSA also had a hand in the security system Security Enhanced, which is used in most modern distributions of Linux, but in the case of Windows 7 the first time, NSA was able to affect the operating system before it is officially launched, not months or years after the appearance of the product the world market. And even a partnership with Microsoft is not something new and fresh. NSA has already helped in the creation of security systems Vista and XP. In addition, the Agency collaborates with other producers of software, including Apple and RedHat, which demonstrates the importance of security of modern operating systems, and approaching the point where the organization responsible for the security of the United States, will intervene in the creation of their own each more or less popular product.

On the one hand, the idea of enhanced security sounds great, but on the other hand, there are always those who will consider such cooperation as a problem and decides that the NSA seamlessly integrates the operating systems in the secret door and intentionally created vulnerabilities that can easily nullify all cryptographic tricks of the owners of computers and laptops. While yet to figure out how to react to ordinary users, especially non-Americans, the message that the National Security Agency had a hand in the creation of Windows 7.
