Yes..In this case you are very wrong..  I think everyone is making more of this 
post that it really is.  Motorola is a major technology company.  Any peice of 
software that may have the capability of perusing anyone's machine will need to be looked into. Plain and simple.  I don't think anyone here is shaking in thereshoes thinking that someone within the company is running Win95 and all of the 
companies trade secrets are going out the back door.  We have massive amounts ofinternal network security (Major part of my job here).  None the less, if there
exists a peice of software (Win95) that may have a feature to go interigate a   users machine then it probably won't be a good idea to use it within Motorola orany other Corp enviroment.  

As for the unauthorized copies of MS software, I would have to say that we do a great job controlling the amount of unauthorized copies of software used.  I    have seen and have been a part of many audits and the numbers have been low.    Very low.  With the use of Gracelan, most companies can keep that type of thing
in check.
