Of course.  And it will probably be found again after all comments
around the sabotage code have been changed to outline some crazy but
not entirely unconceivable technical idea "accidently" causing Windows
to crash under anything but MSDOS.

At least there is no other reason I can think of for Microsoft saying
to such orders that they will need at least so and so many months to
comply with the order.  Very interesting that U.S. courts swallow this
"please wait until we have reasonably whitewashed the evidence before
handing it to you" stance, and did so repeatedly in the past.
