Microsoft system tracks pedophiles

In January 2003, a Toronto Police detective sent an e-mail to Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates asking for help in the fight against child exploitation.
Today that plea was answered with the official launch of the Child Exploitation Tracking System. Development of the CETS system began in 2003 and involved the Toronto Police Service, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other global law enforcement bodies.
CETS is based on Microsoft Windows and Microsoft SQL, though according to Microsoft Canada President David Hemler the system won't force authorities to migrate to Windows and/or other Microsoft products.
