Can you make Windows XP so secure that the United States Air Force will use it in its systems? Well, apparently, you can, but you do have to talk to Microsoft. The USAF wanted a locked-down edition of Windows XP, and since they were in the midst of renegotiating the desktop-software contract with Microsoft, they decided to ask Steve Ballmer directly to create it for them. They did.

...I'm still amazed by the fact that more U.S. Government agencies aren't adopting OpenBSD as their O.S. of choice. If the damned thing needs to be secure, why screw around with anything else? It's pretty hard to argue against OpenBSD when it comes to security, because this O.S. is built and coded with this exact principle in mind.
Each operating system excels at something, and OpenBSD is the King of Security.
