You can see a few players out there wishing there was a way to 
"regulate" more, of course. It's funny, because if what they wanted was 
security, they would just stop installing their applications on Windows, 
and use GRSec instead. What they really want is "free security" which is 
different. Basically, the cost of ownership of Windows (despite all 
their recent work) is so high that people should really only use it as a 
platform if security is not a concern, is what the government is trying 
to say.

Of course, I fully expect that Microsoft will say that what really needs 
to be regulated are those pesky researchers.
