[Gllug] Tossing my cookies

Aha!
SO the truth is out about the story on local governments threatening
to go Linux/Star Office which I sent out earlier in the week.

Have a look at page 5 of Computing:
"town Halls seek MS Licence Deal"

And also look at page one:
"NHS seeks 50 million save in MS deal"
So lets get this right - MS put in a new licensing scheme, which
results in organisations like NHS having to pay LOTS more.
Then they do a deal with you (locking you further into MS BTW)
which saves a deal of money - but hey, now they're doing you good,
as you are saving.

In this article it says that 85% of the NHS software budget
goes to Microsoft. Grrrrr.... they should be spending this money
on software to treat sick people...


I'm about to go off and toss my cookies.
