I forgot about that. And this year, they got a developer's Intel box also.

People in government cannot do endorsements. However, do you remember the Apple ad with all the tanks encircling a G4 in defense mode? The ad went on to say that the US military is now using Macs because of security. So you can use the FACT that the military is now using Apple products, but the government folk cannot say so.
What would be great is to get Ret. Col. Dale Dye as a spokesman. He is not under such scrutiny and he still has his finger on the pulse of the military machine. Now that would be a powerful ad.

How bizzare would it be if Steve Balmer or Bill Gates did a switch ad? :p
