as a result of the cyber attack, the Defense Department has banned the use of external hardware devices throughout a vast network of military computers.

They'd be better off banning the use of Windows.

That is a very profound statement, and true statement. DoD already has moved toward Apple servers. They should adopt Mac desktops and laptops also. Our troops deserve the best.

THAT was funny. I run Parallels on my Mac, and I felt like I was loading a virus when I installed Windows....

You said it. Linux or AIX would be my choices.

This attack sounds like a ChiComm operation.

They should use Macs, OSX, because that platform is more stable.

You're right. They would be better off running Linux.
