Item: in May of 2002, Jim Allchin, Microsoft's Group VP for Platforms, told Department of Justice officials under oath that sharing Windows source code with other American competitors "could damage national security and even threaten the U.S. war effort in Afghanistan."
Item: Last month, Microsoft signed an agreement with China to reveal the full Windows source code to the Chinese government.
So basically, either American competition is supposedly more of a threat to national security than China, or Microsoft is headed up by a pack of utterly amoral liars. Unless somebody can point out a third option that I missed somewhere?
