Great ban but stupid.
Many of our high priced, and expensive pieces of machinery also use
thumb drives and USB sticks to give their system programming
information and they do not use windows on these devices.

"Those little USB thumb drives are very helpful little critters for
transporting data easily between one computer and another, you have to
admit. However, they are also very useful for introducing malware into
a system. That was that the reason the Pentagon banned their use in
November 2008, declaring that "Memory sticks, thumb drives and camera
flash memory cards have given the adversary the capability to exploit
our poor personal practices and have provided an avenue of attack ...
malicious software (malware) programmed to embed itself in memory
devices has entered our systems."
Why don't they simply ban Windows?
