Good news for us infantry guys... the Army has decided to <a title="Land Warrior Follows Simpler Path" href="http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/article.cfm?Id=1238">switch from Windows to Linux</a> as the OS which will power the upcoming Land Warrior program, which promises to make soldiers much more Halo-like ("The idea is for members of a platoon to be able to pass around battlefield procedural messages, graphics, alerts and other pieces of information that currently are communicated by hand signals and voice").

To quote the press release, “Evidence shows that Linux is more stable. We are moving in general to where the Army is going, to Linux-based OS.” Nice to know I won't get a BSOD while closing in on the bad guys. W00t!!1
