Windows 10 To Be Installed On 4 Million US Department of Defense Computers (betanews.com)

Mark Wilson writes: Microsoft keeps shouting about the millions of users that have switched to Windows 10, and soon the company will have another 4 million to bray about. The U.S. Department of Defense is the latest big name to give Windows 10 the seal of approval apparently unconcerned with the privacy and telemetry issues that have put off others. 4 million enterprise upgrades for Windows 10 is a real feather in the cap for Microsoft, and the aim is to get each system running the latest version of the operating system inside a year. The DoD has also announced that it is granting certification to Surface 3, Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4, and Surface Book devices, meaning that they now appear on its Approved Products List.

"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.

  Both of these comments are wrong. They will simply be installed and managed by people who know what they're doing, not some kids on reddit who want to prove Microsoft is evil.
