In our opinion, anyone using Microsoft (tm) products in any application requiring security, reliability, or support beyond one or two years is guilty of at least complete ignorance. Such use in government or companies supporting government applications should be considered criminal malfeasance, since the indisputable public record shows that such products are not secure, not reliable, and not supported for more than a minimum period. Any public record in a Microsoft (tm) format should be converted to a publicly available standard, preferably plain text, as soon as possible, since all such formats are obsoleted and become unreadable within a few years.
