As most of you know, I have been trading phone calls with the following
three M'spfties:
Ross Warner (in charge of Windows and DOS business unit)
Phill Barrett (Development manager, Windows)
Tom Lennon (some marketing role under Russ)
..
I had gotten earlier this year the spec fr "protected mode" backdoors in
Windows, under our CDA with Microsoft, along with working prototype code.
I also had a promise to receive an update from them "in April" (of Bets
Windows 3 software, and interface specs for the "back door")
This update has not come, and now that is it May I have called Phil and
Russ to check on it.
I spoke to Phil yesterday ( a very chilly phone call), and he said we
were "probably on the Windows 3 SDK list, and that is in Mfg."
He did not want to discuss the subject of our earlier discussions about
the "back door", which they called the "protected mode virtual machine"
capability. Nor did he want to tell me what they have decided about 286
support of protected mode (as opposed to 386 support), which they had
also had running in prototype form.
