    We noticed some instances where medical and photography equipment has MSDE
    as part of the storage or image-forwarding software that comes with the
    device; so it is not widely advertised that it uses it at all. I also have
    acquaintances that work for pharmaceutical manufacturers and they
    encountered some process automation tools and other devices - like post Y2K
    stuff - that had this in place. I'm not making an official statement at
    all; but I thought I'd put a warning out to the community. You can probably
    find the FedCIRC or VA-CIRC bulletins that identify anything they (we)
    specifically know about.
