they will all be forced to use MS proprietary "homeland security protocols", their emergency broadcast system will be poorly coded, and will have service packs which will cause more bugs...

Uh...so they'll be running a Windows OS on 140k office computers, servers, etc. What do you think the majority of other Fed computers are running?

This is actually good news for those of us working in the network security industry. It's a full time job just to take care of windows security!

Pres. Bush is going to have to run a "Homeland Security Update" nightly to get all of the patches to fix "serious security flaws".

Did they actually win through competitive bidding, or did they pull a Halliburton?

You guys are being too hard on Windows, there really are not all that many security flaws like there used to be a few years ago. See they just build on top of the same code for each Windows realease so it is almost like a portion their code has been tried and tested. Many of the bugs they are even finding now days have been there for several years which says that these holes are getting harder and harder to find which means the number of them is decreasing. They could have gone with BSD if they wanted to be secure but if no one knew how to use the compters, I think we would be in a lot more trouble.
