Government systems should be locked down and limited.

Yup, exactly, which is kinda my point. The OS given to users is gonna be heavily restricted, so no one is going to use it and then run home to install it on a home PC. Government OSs are just not good ambassadors.

No one was discussing users transitioning on their home computers.
