Quote of the day, wartime edition

The story's just not that interesting, but this quote is hysterical.

At the Pentagon, Mr. Durante says that software cost savings are paying for the switch to thin clients. In part, that's because users now need only two licenses for Microsoft Office—one for their thin client and another for their Internet PC—instead of separate licenses for a host of PCs.

"Getting rid of Office wasn't an option," Mr. Durante notes. "You can't run a war without PowerPoint."

Reached for comment, dead guy and former general George Patton remarked, "I didn't get that memo. Could you e-mail it to me?"
