That's one way to get the project killed. :)

DOD needs to go further in adopting off-the-shelf components for defense projects. Now, I'm not saying Linux/Unix is military ready off-shelf (and Windows definately is not), but it is a known, stable product with a gigantic talent pool, and easily modified to military-grade. Why not use it? It would save millions.
