If anything, it would not be in their best _marketing_ interests to
support GAK. Rejecting GAK in favor of promoting strong crypto will
make them look like "good guys".
This is also true of Micro$oft. And contrary to an earlier opinion,
I think Bill & Co. have been soured by their experiences with DoJ.

think Micro$oft will skip at the chance to thumb their noses at the
government if it's to their advantage.
Both of these companies may be willing to support a DES-crack effort
