Using less M$ products is always a good thing, especially in the defence sector.

Smart move, the only OS any government or at risk should use is GNU+linux.

Is the source code available? I would like to see how auditors rate it's security. Even if it's not as good I would say it's a step in the right direction.

I don't think it is available for the public, maybe try RTI?

I'm a noob. I can't audit it lol :p

Even a noob can audit, you can pay a bunch of IT-students to do it on your behalf for pay.

I think its their loss as Microsoft products are know for quality with less bugs. Also American products should be used by every country. I think India and China should be put in the blacklist so that they can't buy any US hardware and chipset.

They said 'Microsoft products are know for quality with less bugs'. Of course they're joking.

No shit, it's literally the opposite. Never go to any of the linux subs.
