Something I noticed when comparing the two files was that microsoft stores
which font is used almost each line and of course as much information as
possible about the user who created the document, like login, computer
and so

And to what purpose, and to what user value, does MS gather such info?

Why to increase the valuation of the users experience, of course :)
And to further stratgise marketecture scalability.

OTOH, it might be that M$ cut a deal with the government so that when a user
creates a word.doc or whatever, the "extra" info wil help the NSA or FBI track
and identify that user.

Yeah. I liked "Enemy of the State" ... more truth in it than we'd
probably want to know.
