I found this and thought you all might want to read it. The V.A. and U.S. Air Force are making the jump to Windows 7 first to be followed by the other government agencies.
Air Force starts long trek to Windows 7 -- Defense Systems
I work for the government and we just got "new" computers, 2gb ram, 160gb hard drives, and windows XP. I would KILL to have what I have at home for a work computer. Maybe by the time I go to retire in 25 years we'll have something close, but I doubt it. I do a lot of work with ArcGIS and the computers at work are SOOOO slow with that. I look forward to when we get windows 7 at work!
As much as I love Windows 7, I think it's stupid for the government to be using Windows period, because any version of Windows has it's flaws. A better operating system for them to use is Linux, secure, easy to use, and convenient.
