Of course, being a government agency, bad decisions don't affect it as a whole. Some people may get fired some things may change new people will come in and make the same bad decisions. It's not like the FCC is going to go out of business.
What their worth IS what the market will bare. If you think you're worth more than go somewhere else and do it. If what you do is worth more, then sell it your self and/or start your own company and compete. Don't whine because of achieving what you're actually capable of rather than what you dreamed to do.
I've been in 3 of the largest DCs in the Phoenix area (500 square foot +) and two of them were > 50% Linux with 11k and 22k Linux servers one was all IBM and the other was all Dell. The other was mostly Solaris with 18k T8100s and they had a huge blade center search infrastructure running Linux on a couple thousand IBM blades. All three had their small internal/backoffice IT department racks consisting of mostly Windows for Exchange and Domain Controllers, usually consisting of a dozen or so racks of servers.
I can only think of one decent sized Datacenter that I've been in (~100k sq feet) that had more windows than Linux and it was a Hospital chain's corprate datacenter. They were still migrating their older AIX HP-UX Solaris etc to Linux. But they did have more Windows Application servers than most I've been in.
Now you may be right the smaller (10k sq foot) datacenters will often have more windows than Linux due to the backoffice environment being bigger than the core business application servers.
If the question was "Who dominates the Backoffice servers?" then Windows would hands down have the title. All application servers though Linux wins hands down. Linux+UNIX and Windows is barely a blip.

Funny thing about Democracies is you don't have a single leader and voice dictating exact policy.
A government shouldn't be judged by the number of people it helps (progressive idea,) but by the number of people that no longer need government help (libertarian idea.)
Yea it's pretty sad that we're stuck with the 2 party system. When you get tired of the party in power and decided to vote them out you find out that as bad as you thought they were, the other side is still worse. Perhaps someday we can migrate to the Progressive party vs. the Libertarian party and just combine the Dems/Reps as being the left and right wing of the Progressive party.

I don't know if you've heard or not, but two of those "embedded, server, desktop." Linux is not just mainstream, but dominates.

I agree, it's OK for the government to shut down people I disagree with as long as they leave the people I agree with alone.
