First off, IANAL(NDIPOONTV). I'm also speaking for myself here, and not
as a representative of my company in any way, shape, or form.

These articles provide some information:

<http://www.infoworld.com/article/02/09/13/020916opwinman_1.html>
<http://www.informit.com/isapi/product_id~%7BC92092FF-8F75-4720-9C0C-F05

I found them by entering 'HIPAA SP3' into Google. There's a ton of
other stuff out there as well. Note that I used the word 'possible' and
not 'guaranteed' in my e-mail as well. I don't have documentation of a
Microsoft backdoor, or any proof - just that the language of the license
itself may possibly be incompatible with HIPAA, and possibly 21CFR11.
Actually, on reflection, I might be wrong about 21CFR11.

Thanks,
Thane

A claim like this requires a specific quote to support it. Could you
please
indicate where you got this information from?

Thanks,
Chuck
