LXer: Working Linux Emergency Response System Undermined at Homeland Security by Microsoft Lobbying Replacing LAMP systems with Windows systems is Microsoft's call-to-arms, and they are on the march with that song at Homeland Security. We all know that Department made the stupid decision to standardize on Windows platforms after it was formed, and despite challenges to that decision, they proceeded. Do you feel safe yet? Now, LXer reports that even a perfectly good LAMP system such as this one is being dismantled because it's not a Windows system. This is how are tax dollars are spent, folks: Propping up Microsoft! It's gotta stop!
