Mad, stupid, thoughtless, lack of common sense.
A typical burocratic b**** up. Why buy a software solution that is most vulnerable to Viruses and hackers, cost several times more, is less stable and one of the least user friendly computing envioronments arounds that will cost millions in additional training.
Why not go Unix (Apple Solutions) or Linux (Sun solutions)?
We switched to Mac servers and mac machines and saved £15K per year on licenses, went form 4 to 2 technicans, had no viruses or hackers attack our systems and so far had 100% up time. The kit works well, and looks great. We have just put addiitonal linux SUn servers in for additional functionality and capacilty.
A typical government sticking with old out of date thinking with no vision for the future!
