NSA/PRISM on Steroids: Microsoft Lync

Summary: PRISM pioneer Microsoft wants to bring espionage-leaning NSA surveillance right into businesses

According to Microsoft boosters and puff pieces from so-called 'journalists' like Michal Lev-Ram at CNN, Microsoft brings its notorious NSA surveillance (with Skype) right into its business-centric communication tool. Any CIO or CTO that chooses to bring this bugging exploit into a business deserves to be fired (for compromising business security), just as anyone who goes to Microsoft for Android deserves to be suffering espionage and retribution. Only a fool would use Skype or Lync now, just like "Normandy", which is how Microsoft Nokia turns Android into an enhanced surveillance platform (the rumours seem to have become more substantiated).
