Actually, I can totally assure you that there are versions of Big Brother (www.bb4.com) being used within the DoD in the US. ie, sites with a .mil address. Main reason I know that is because while they can reach and download files from my website (www.deadcat.net) and they can send me email complaining about various things (like the inability to change their password/register/etc), they will never see my emails. (Apparently, from what I have heard, the whole of australian IP space is blocked from .mil, at least for receiving of emails). Probably a search of the bb4 mailing list archives would reveal various ..mil addresses discussing the use of BB. Oh, and from what I have heard, most governments (well, other than the US) would prefer a non-MS solution, simply because they don't want to find out that the system they have been using allowed some US interest to discover their secret anti-US information/etc...
