What your asking basicly is, could security in simiconductors have been on their mind in 2007.

imo, yes

if i'm not mistaken that's about when PN came over from ptsc - he coulda been the one who pointed it out after seeing what 737/445 were.

RP was touting elements in 10-11 which is nice 2.5 yr frame for MS to become -

aimho-recollect

I also believe MS can work with/without that encription also - fwiw
