Sorry all about feeding the trolls but I couldn't let this by, I'd like to see some regulations that require that any regulations passed by special interest groups be tossed - such as this proposed one. What is wrong with just evaulating the government workers purely based on how quickly, efficiently, and cheaply the results of their work are, and quit trying to stuff a bunch of directives down their throats as to how to go about doing their jobs? I couldn't care less if they used Windows, IBM Software (like the Lotus Notes you used) FreeBSD, Linux or SandBox Software from Uglilaialand, as long as I don't see a bunch of my tax dollars thrown down the toilet.
