To avoid MS Windows like the plague. How could any non US civil service or government ever allow a Windows installation on their machines knowing the potential issues. After hearing this, why would they even want to take the risk? If you're an American you might trust the NSA, but I'll bet if you're French you trust the NSA like you would trust a politician to tell the truth. Use an open source operating system. It's the only safe way to ensure you know what you are getting. Linux is the only way to go.
There is a very easy way around this. Instead of using their trade mark say: "The entire source of this distribution was downloaded from ftp.redhat.com" or some variation thereof.
Redhat gets to avoid the market confusion as detailed in a previous post and rip-off artists can no longer use the Redhat name to make coin of a distro they put nothing into.

Just another reason why Open Source OSes are the only way to go.... no PHBs can ruin them.
