Read that earlier - implication was that Bush et al were dullards when it is actually about data security. I deal with banks that have the same restrictions (and never upgaded to Vista - another gripe in the article). They must therefore be in the dark ages.

Best security practices mean you DON’T upgrade to the newest systems right away, since it means they’re an unknown risk. You go with reliable, tested system you know will work and implement gradual changes so you can monitor and detect any possible security threats before they become a major concern.
