The *real* problem is homogeneity of OSes. The *only* answer is heterogeneity.

Some Windows, some Macs, some Linux, some OS/2 ...

Throughout history monocultures have come crashing down with crushing consequences. Yet we never seem to learn.

Yes. Seriously, though. A bad plot from a CIA movie a few years ago had a USB drive hidden in a coffee cup. Why doesn't the DOD have dumb terminals setup with no local storage? Even community colleges erase all non-necessary files at every reboot. Everything has to be saved on another server. The OS'es we are talking about are just front ends. UNIX is the only way they should go except for dumb terminals with no local storage after reboot.
