Don't be so outraged. This is no secret. Congress knows they are not funding their IT needs adequately.

Do you think IRS still has people using windows XP because they want to? No, its because they don't have funds.

You're not the government so anything you are posting is your OPINION.

If it's "no secret" then post some links to back up your statements.

Not necessarily, business's and large organizations are slow to adopt new OS's and software because it's expensive. Even a "free" browser cost a lot of money becsue they need to support it. Microsoft support for XP just eneded and many companies will have just ridded themselves of XP machines recently simply for security reasons unless they were necessary and isolated. I have one sitting right here to run some very expensive video editing software that has no upgrade path past XP.
We told a small restraunt with I think 8 workstations, that includes their POS systems, that XP is toast and the salesman told em it would be around 60K to upgrade all the hardware and software. They almost fell over. Or they can roll with what they got. Imagine what it costs a huge company. Big Bro of course probably has some behind the scene deal going with Billy Boy. Running XP/7 doesn't matter. No way they don't have exchange servers that are backed up on a regular basis. They are just liars.
