It sounds too good to be true, but that monster  manufacturer, Microsoft who seem to have theirs own licence to print money have ?come a croppa? in Germany because of their scientological connections.This connection between the psycho sect and the software giant is annoying representatives of the major churches in Germany, and risking a boycott of its ?flagship? product by churches and government agencies. As the successor of Windows NT, Windows 2000, contains a defragmentation program called Diskeeper. The manufacturer is the company Executive Software Inc. which offers defragmentation and data storage tools to “enhance the speed and performance of Microsoft Windows NT”. Executive chief Jensen himself shares his biography on his rather worrying homepage, that proudly announces that he has been a member of the organization calling itself church since 1974 and supposedly transformed his company from a “one-man show to a flourishing multi-million Dollar corporation” with the help of the scripts of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Jensen also climbed the corporate ladder at Scientology: He is an operating Thetan at level VIII (OT VIII), the highest level scientologists can achieve currently. In 1992 the Californian company opened an office in Hamburg. Staff was hired according to the following criteria: “Fully trained scientologists, computer skills desirable but not a prerequisite”. By integrating the Executive product into Windows 2000 Microsoft created a situation that at least a few large potential customers see as a serious problem. An employee of the German catholic church who did not want his name mentioned told commented that the origin of the software is “highly disturbing”. It is “a genius move” of the Scientology organization if soon such a program that has direct and active access to all data is working principally on every company desk and in government and church institutions as an integrated part of a widely used operating system.I more interesting is the fact that Microsoft Word doesn?t recognise the word ?scientologists? ?
