What does the REAL IT unit of the military use for most of their servers? BTW: That's the Air Force not the Army.

The Army mainly uses Windows. As far as security, Army servers do get hacked, but there's no outside network access to most of the servers so security goes up.

However, while the regular Army web site runs on Mac, their biggest public-facing, limited-access web site runs on Solaris. They are very paranoid about having public-facing Windows servers.

Also it looks like the people behind the MOAB agree with me.

Why Apple and not (random software vendor)? We like to play with OS X, we enjoy hate e-mail and it's not as crowded as (random software vendor), yet. Thus, it's really comfortable for research and there's so much to be worked out http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/
