Hmmm...the NSA "tools" get released, it targets OLD operating systems, spreads via the internet, gets paid via bitcoin...ALL things "they" want control over.
Microsoft wants people to stop using their old OS and get their new one... The government wants control over the internet... Bitcoin competes with dollars and can't be tracked...
This will be an excuse to mandate upgrading to the latest OSs. It will allow the government to put controls on the internet...for OUR security. And the rogue crypto currencies will not be tolerated...only the bank approved will be allowed.
