Good on Microsoft

I have to admit I admire them for this. If it were another country pulling the same thing on data in the US, I'm sure our government would react badly. It's good to see someone (or some company in this case) stand up to the bullying.

I do have to wonder if the NSA already has the data but the government needs the formal handover?

Disclaimer: I'm a US citizen and very angry at the way my government plays fast and loose with the rules.
