Washington Post article (Registration required to see the entire article)
In a moronic attempt to streamline US government grant application processes, they've decided to exclude anyone not using a Windows PC. Presumably linux is out of the loop as well, but they didn't say in the article.
My favorite quote: "Critics note that in contrast to the domination of PCs in the business community, Macs constitute about one-third to one-half of the computers scientists and academicians use."
Sheesh.
