One thing that may save us is that some parts of the US government are
still using older versions of the Microsloth products.  This means
that although all of the computers can be taken over, the method is
not the same for all of them.  Many businesses are staying with NT or
XP and not xxxgrading to Vista so we may gain a little strength
through diversity.

In many ways the security folks who work for the government are threir
own worse enemy.  They want uniformity in the systems and procedures.
