Newham has a cow over Microsoft MOU

Comments

Newham MS sales team

How can a government department be asked to promote MS? Given that they have a duty to the public, such a lack of impartiality would maybe find favour with Tony Blair (remember him being at an MS launch?) but would IMHO be in blatant conflict with their main duties.

In addition, one MS MOU not an expert maketh - it is not said that the "solution(*)" in Newham would fit anyone else. As a matter of fact, it didn't seem to fit Newham either..

(*) As someone who had to repeatedly bail out MS from such "solutions" in a past life I have yet to develop any respect for their capability..

Nice try, but it won't change anything

The studies were performed by Socitm, a private public sector consulting firm of which Newham COI Steele is a vice president. the INQUIRER will report on these findings in due course.
What a farce, so he found a way to justify spending public money on his own company. I wonder if there was a tender for which company should do the studies at all. It is so in our faces and we still take the crap from them while they openly steel from our taxes.
Well, what is one to do if one feels that one is above the law.
