A more serious worry is that the department of homeland security has
standardized on windows, and is now trying to make it secure, which I
fear will perhaps wind up being an enormous subsidy for the windows OS.
If you guys are going to make remarks about our intelligence services
being morons (they are), keep in mind that at a time when the Russians
and Chinese and Europeans and everyone competent is moving from windows
to linux for their intelligence services, we are standardizing on
windows. Yes, they are the least competent intelligence agency in the
world, and their ability to select an OS without knowing or caring that
it has a few security problems is one of the measures of it. They are
so far behind the Russians in skill level, it is a sad joke.....
