"There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is
an idea whose time has come." Victor Hugo.

So states a report from the Department of Defense's Advanced Systems and
Concepts Office, which recommends that the DoD move to a roadmap to adopt
open source and open standards, maintaining that such a move is not only in
the US national interest, but in the interests of US national security.

The 79-page report proposes that the DoD adopt what it calls "open
technology development," which incorporates open source methodologies and
open standards, but also takes into account the fact that the DoD has
systems that it would rather keep secret."

Besides the fact that this is off-topic for this newsgroup, something that is
considered rude, I'm not sure what exactly you think we here can do to help
out in this area.

Humm...sharing an informative security article on a security newsgroup
is "trolling". Why don't you stop pointing that hypocritical finger around
and do something good for you: Read something....you just might learn
something new. But again, maybe that is asking too much...

I agree, it seems VERY security related to me, and highly relevant to
Microsoft's overall security strategy (which doesn't appear to be
looking towards an open-source future).
