Microsoft at War with Open Source at Pentagon

The Washington Post reports that Microsoft is lobbying the Defense Department to reduce its use of Open Source software. According to the article, "...the effort may have backfired. A May 10 report prepared for the Defense Department concluded that open source often results in more secure, less expensive applications and that, if anything, its use should be expanded."
