So why Windows XP has that registry key and dlls and files about Steelhead?
This video was uploaded at year 2012, and Windows XP *has already Steelhead* technology from 2001?

[PurnachandMedisetty]

" riverbed" means adrenaline to him.

[kalimerahellasperson]

You guys and girls, you are the real *conspiransy of silence*. No agent up there knows about Steelhead registry key in Windows XP?
