ROFL! MS certainly seem to like that "encryption" algorithm - API
obfuscation (some of the low-level API calls have the entry point address
XORed with a "magic number"), password encryption for WinCE (with
the string "Pegasus", reversed)... Did they have a hand in CSS? :-)

Just think how much harder life could be if MS actually found themselves a
competent crypto guy...
