No. The "Government" will buy anything that's "sold" well enough to
them - especially if there are large brown envelopes available. The OS
community doesn't have the buying power of some large American
corporations, so won't easily get a look in. It doesn't matter that MS
have /never/ produced /anything/ that works properly. However, they can
"sell" anything they like.....
