Story: Microsoft wins £500m NHS contract
Posted by: Samuel (Thursday 4 November 2004, 7:42 AM)
I have seen evangelist videos of what Longhorn (next Win OS) will do for each industry and for the medical sector it looked amazing, I can see MS overcomming a lot of its current problems, certainly in nine years time.
Face it, most use Windows -- because its easy and good. Of course the IE browser is suffering but I have a lot of faith if future development, I'd rather our NHS used Windows than something else that might not be compatible:
"oh sorry you can't send/open this electronic x-ray -- oh well the patient will have to do without, so who do we call to fix it?!"
