How can this EFF firm develop such an insecure system for voting? Didn't they try to break into there own system before allowing it to be tested by researchers?
I wonder if these firms develop insecure systems on purpose (for the sake of allowing easy vote tampering). We are at the point where there is no way a private company can be trusted to develop a proprietary voting system.
As for the Open Voting system, that should be the first and most important security requirement for a voting system.
Walmart isn't the revolution. They play a little part to it, and that it. Never have I heard an open source desktop deployment success story mention "hey, we were successful because such and such company offered the product". These products were available to us for some time. The revolution will continue as more and more CIO's ---> and down to the helpdesk personnel develop the balls to make shit happen.
Large Corporations offering Open Source Software is a small piece to the "revolution". The main forces behind the revolutions are the IT people that support users, from CIO's to Helpdesk. Never have I read an open source success story that said "We made the switch because such and such company provided a solution". Success stories happen because the IT personnel develop the balls to make shit happen.

The only benefit I can imagine with a "lite" version of windows is that less software and less bugs.
