Newham Chooses All Microsoft Solution

Looks like Microsoft and the Newham Council have signed a ten year agreement, worth millions, that makes Microsoft the exclusive platform for the London borough. The decision was based, at least partially, on a report done by CapGemini that concluded that the MSFT solution would be 68% cheaper then an Open Source solution. The report was funded by none other than Microsoft. Why people keep using reports that are funded in this manner is absolutely beyond me. It's completely nonsensical. Shockingly, they will also be using IE. Why? “because Microsoft is very serious about addressing security concerns”. They need not look too far to see how silly that statement is. For a bit of proof that OSS is gaining acceptance and people are starting to get it, the media present at the press conference laughed out loud when the reason for going with the Microsoft solution was given. Hilarious!
In unrelated news, I have audited all available Linux websites, and have concluded the one I run is the best. I also have a bridge for sale cheap, please contact me if you are interested. It is the best bridge available.
