US government does not have a public fund or tax to pay for the development of a government sanctioned Unix/GNU operating system by a US company. Once that happens, then this issue goes away.
Well, it was. It’s not the reliable, stable OS it was only a few years ago. It has really pushed the envelope for stupid since its first foray into Dumb for EL6.
Yeah. This irks me even more because the US Gov:
A. Has laws that could have prevented IBM from buying RedHat.
B. Knows it relies on RedHat for securing critical systems.
C. Didn’t do shit about the purchase.
Ideally, each government would look out for the public’s interest, in these things. But in this case, it failed to even look out for it’s own interests (which would have aligned, in this case).
Isn’t this a place for memes?
It’s extra funny that the PR drone MS have wheeled out has the last name Faehl - how’s that pronounced, I wonder… Could it be fail?
Fitting really…
Personally, I’m deeply entwined in the MS product stackpillar of turds and I hate it. They appeared to gave made an honest effort after the trustworthy computing initiative, but that has clearly been eroded…
Why they’ve got everyone’s trust, I just can’t understand. Convenience trumps everything else, I guess…
Remember the South Park movie, when they wanted to invade, and when their visualisation failed, called for Bill Gates?
