The last paragraph reads:

"The European Commission said Mr Eckert signed a memo and agreed that
he will fully comply with conflict of interest rules not to reveal confidential
Commission information to Microsoft."

Yeah, sure.

Mr. Eckert is being hired as a "security" expert by Microsoft.  I wonder
how his "security" qualifications are better than a few hundred other "gurus"
right here in 'River City'.
