I would say the author is correct here. It's a well known saying that if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. I'm not saying that EDS is bad in particular - indeed to be as successful as they are they must be doing something right - but if these desktops were managed by a systems administrator at DWP, do you really think he would still have his job?

When an entire government department can be brought down so easily by a simple mistake made by one person, something is wrong. I would say that anyone wishing their system to be fast and reliable would be being foolish and hypocritical if they specify Windows.
