I for one am happy to hear of Ed Felten receiving recognition for his work. Being a paid witness and speaking your mind is perfectly acceptable- indeed, speaking his mind is one of Professor Felten's supreme virtues, particularly in a world where too much software is snake-oil and security through obscurity is a profitable enterprise. Indeed, if I was given the chance to testify against Microsoft on a subject I cared passionately about and end up getting paid for it... well, let's just say I'd do it in a heartbeat. This case is very unusual in that Microsoft is on the side of kittens and puppies. Archer End.
