And what happens when a new and amazing piece of software comes along that
would significantly benefit say 30% of the users, but it requires more hard
drive space or more memory than the standard equipment uses? Do they say no
to the software or do they upgrade every system in the navy and marines to
keep in sync?

they did the whole navy and marine core at once to one contractor. I think
it was around 6 billion for 4(6?) years or so. Standardized hardware and
software, locked registries to minimize unauthorized software(except us
developers, yay!). They also have to provide the entire network
infrastructure as well. The goal is to improve security and standardize.
It is also supposed to save money, but the results have been dubious so far.
To be fair, it is a huge undertaking, and the first time something like this
has been attempted. A few growing pains, but personally I think this is a
Good Thing(tm), and will work out in the long run.

much noise in the general/commercial sector, but then, everything seems more
important when you are involved personally.
