they are opening up to governments so they can see just how safe it is lol.
soon they will see all the fucking holes.
they are doing it to compete with open source but i have a feeling that once other governments see whats behind the b$ they're going to run to a open source o/s.
just think in a year there will be a huge number of exploits and the bastard twins are going to shit a brick when they get called on the blatant shit of the platform.

'lol' is right!

looks like the debacle of several governments (and government departments) in several countries round the world publicly saying they would rather use linux because of security and money issues has given their shitty 'shared source initiative' and their crappy 'TCO studies' a place in society that's about as important as Microsoft Bob (http://toastytech.com/guis/bob.html).
