The last time I looked, the USG was busy converting over to Windows. Everyone in the government loves windwoes because gates thinks like they do. Several years ago there was a wonderful story about the Navy's attempts to ditch the UNIX servers that run their destroyers, and convert them over to NT4.0 It has been a while, but on at least two occasions, one of our billion$$ destroyers was seen being towed into port as the might NT had gone blue screen and shut down the entire vessel. Like I said, the last I heard, the conversion was still going on, even tho NT does not pass the security requirements of the military. Its important to remember that criminals always help out their own kind.

No Windows here, no Macs either. Just a PC that actually works, day in and day out.
