I don't see a problem here.

Can you get a radiation hardened, milspec accredited, space-worthy version of the Pentium? Yes. Can you get a similarly accredited version of the latest Core 2 Duo from a high street computer store? No.

Government waves cutlass at IT budget

@Joel Stobart

Fantastic idea. Push the data out into the "cloud" (or aether, more correclty) where it's uncontrolled, and freely available at the convenience of organised crime, the Chinese or whoever else has an intelligence requirement concerning our government. And then we have classified data...

The data spillage situation sucks now, but at least they government has *some* control over it.
