the U.S. Air Force has entered into a multi-year agreement with Microsoft that could bring the software maker more than US$500 million in revenues over a six-year period.
Microsoft will provide core server software, maintenance and upgrade support, while Dell will supply more than 525,000 Microsoft desktop Windows and Office software licenses for the Air Force.
Part of the service's One Air Force, One Network initiative, the agreement is intended to simplify the acquisition process while meeting demands for stringent enterprisewide cybersecurity requirements, timely distribution of software updates and enterprise configuration management.
Ever since the Institute of Internal Auditors Research Foundation (IIA) report titled "PC Management Best Practices: A Study of the Total Cost of Ownership, Risk, Security, and Audit" was released in September, Microsoft has been poised to gain the momentum that Linux was seeking in the public sector market.
"This Air Force contract validates Microsoft's argument that when everything is taken into account, Windows is actually more secure than its open-source counterparts"
Funny how WE have Gateways replacing Dells and are in the process of migrating to Solaris....
