Indian Military Organization To Develop Its Own OS

An anonymous reader writes "Several newspapers have reported that DRDO (the defence R&D organization of the Indian military) is planning to create an OS. The need for this arose due to the cyber security concerns facing India and that all [conventional] operating systems are made outside India. About 50 professionals in Bangalore and New Delhi are expected to start work on this operating system." At least one of the linked articles says the new OS, though home-grown, would run Windows software.

6 months after the OS is declared done, all of the developers will have anchor babies in the US and their replacements will determine that the code base is a mass of unintelligible crap.
