Given that Micro$oft has already admitted that if they were to reveal the
source for Windows that it could compromise national security because of
the bugs that lurk there (see this weeks LWN: http://lwn.net and follow
link to eweek article), it seems that the Pentagon should be doing
everything possible to stop using Windows.  It's a matter of national
security - Micro$oft said so.  By their own admission, Windows shouldn't
be used for purposes where it might endanger national security.
