My father is a software engineer for the government. He works at warner robins air force base and yes .... they all use windows and yes ... they almost always get hacked by the chinese every few weeks or so ...

I have this theory regarding Windows and big business .... BACK HANDERS :D The sales team won't get any for a single $60.00 copy of Linux but I bet they did very well indeed on a $90 Million contract for Windowz.
So the Department of Homeland Security becomes the "Department of Homeland Insecurity, hackability and unreliability" how jolly reassuring. Good to see that management over there are as incompetent and stupid as they are here in the UK :D
Remember them that can do, them that can't teach, and them that can't do either... management and fail upwards (and if you REALLY screw up you get $6 Million in share options as you leave).

If they change their minds re S's for a little bit of a kick back I wonder how much more it would cost for them to ignore a few terrorists? "Security" departments should _not_ be thinking along the lines of kick backs for that very reason.

This deserves to be bumped back to the top so more people will read it. Honestly, you have to wonder what went on between MS and homeland security. This shouldn't have happened.
I'm guessing Microsoft used some of it's "statistics" and some payoff $$$ or other benefit.
