Internal Memo to all MCT employees:

All employees are ordered to remove all copies of MatrixLinux-OS from
their office, home, an portable systems. MatrixLinux-OS has several
security backdoors that pose a direct threat to sensitive MCT data. As
such, it falls under MCT Corporate Legal Code, Title 875: Executing
Unsecure Computer Code. Employees are reminded that persons caught
violating Title 875 will be brought before their local MCT Judical
Board, and penalties range from Demotion with 240 hours of Corporate
Comunitity Service to Full Termination without Benifits.
Have a nice and productive workday.
==========

Hear that sound? That's what, about 1/5th of the legitimate geek
userbase hitting the delete key to save their job?
