Why is that so sad, not about cleverness, surely it is just that some 
people have been realistic from early on. Since the 90s I've certainly 
assumed Microsoft was in the collaboration and spying business  and so 
did various European governments, I seem to remember a lot of discussion 
about only using open source software in government rather than Windows 
etc.
