From what I've heard, the initial NMCI deployment has been horrible. The effort at our site just to prepare for the change has been very inefficient and a huge waste of resources. I do think that network managed plain vanilla PC's are a good idea for non-technical users, but the Navy could save a ton of money by using Linux/Open Source software instead. All the admin of the NMCI machines is going to be done by IT staff anyways, so difficult configuration problems wouldn't be an issue.
