Microsoft Offers Secure Windows… But Only to the Government

It’s the most secure distribution version of Windows XP ever produced by Microsoft: More than 600 settings are locked down tight, and critical security patches can be installed in an average of 72 hours instead of 57 days.  The only problem is, you have to join the Air Force to get it.

It would be somewhat ironic if the most secure version of Windows XP was leaked onto the web.  :)x
