Umm, MS isn't the only people who are getting non C2'ed systems into
military installations. I know of at least one military base that
uses a combination of BSDI (Gauntlet) and Linux (WebShield) machines
to do their network security and antiviral stuff -- I can't say for
Gauntlet, but I *know* that the WebShield box doesn't have a C2
certification.
