Story: Microsoft upgrade knocks out 80,000 government PCs

Microsoft causing PCs to crash unknowingly. How incredible!! Seems that if you throw enough money at something, the risks are overlooked and outright ignored.
How can the people - who elect these dolts who made the disasterous decision to go with a known vendor who has a track record of virus-prone, exploitable, unstable, and extremely over-priced software - hold the government accountable? After all, it is the government who serve the people.
Microsoft only serves Microsoft, no matter the cost, no matter who gets hurt.
