Iirc, Windows 8 has a lot of optimization/improvements going on behind the Metro UI so it's a sound investment to keep their systems future-proof. Everyone's bitching about Metro UI but I'd think for a deal that big they could probably get Microsoft to fork over a non-Metro version if needed. Plus from my friends that work in the DoD they're heavily Windows-based (Windows Server/IIS/ASP/.NET) so it makes sense to continue that instead of retraining for a *nix based system.
