The Dept. of Transportation has place a ban on Windows Vista while it looks at alternatives from Apple and from the Linux universe. Sadly, however, the Department seems to have its mind set on Novell's Linux offering. The Fed. Aviation Administration and Dept. of Defense seem likely to follow suit.

In other news, Novell's shares continue their decline.

Update (06/03/07): Have a look... "FAA May Ditch Microsoft's Windows Vista And Office For Google And Linux Combo"
