Windows Vista/7... what a "great" security idea! These aren't advanced concepts, but apparently are beyond even the military’s comprehension. To the above posters:

Every government should be spending substantially more on technology and keeping updated with it. One thing I like about Obama's administration is that he is at least aware of how seriously behind our government is with technology. Instad of limiting technology let's it advance and make our governments more efficient (and hopefully cost less). I agree!

This is no joke because these information can lead to bigger problems soon.
