Microsoft to encrypt more of their data to prevent NSA spying

Well, there might be multiple programs the NSA has been using to spy on the Microsoft users and Microsoft is trying to encrypt the data to prevent further spying from happening. The recent program, MUSCULAR, is targeting the traffic and data from Google, Yahoo and others and it may be reason on why Microsoft is trying to protect the users even further. But we don't know if those idiots can try to take stupid actions against Microsoft like landing them in court for going against their programs for instance.
Now, it may seem that the new Kinect device may be free from the bad motives but it cannot be the same for various Microsoft services and programs such as BitLocker, Windows OSes, Office 365, Internet Explorer, Windows Server OSes, Hotmail, Windows Live, Skype and so on.
One more thing, I might have forgotten to talk about the upcoming sports related events that will fall victim to the similar cyber-spies as well that will be coming in next year but then, I'm not into sports to be honest so my plans to blog about those were scrapped as those events to blog with may require more details.
