You won't. I can't speak about NASA, but I expect that their software  
procurement procedure is similar to ESA's, and I can assure you that  
fancy desktop switching won't cut much ice there - they tend to be a  
tad more interested in their functional requirements, and stable  
platforms are of more than passing interest to them.

That said, they use Windows desktops, so sense doesn't prevail  
overall :-) And it certainly doesn't hurt for a proposal to look  
polished. But there's polished, and there's shiny white suit . . . .
