[Am-info] Delays, Technical Problems Plague Navy's Intranet Program

[John J. Urbaniak]

Nowhere in the article does it mention the software involved, but I bet dollars to donuts it's Windows.

I love this gem from the article

" ... a plan that would skirt required
  preinstallation security certification in favor of meeting an accelerated deployment plan.
  One official characterized the plan as a "scorched-earth seat rollout" designed to install
  as many seats as possible without waiting for the necessary security evaluations to be
  approved. "

Oh, goody, compromise the Navy's security while we're at war.
