Some (political) friends of Microsoft have been brought out in the open and already facts and figures are swept off the table leaving only room for FUD, emotions, fingerpointing, war of words and hearsay.
Such are the people that Microsoft relies on when pushed back to the wall by facts alone.
And these are the people that have managed our tax money so well so far that it's been one (IT project) success story after the other so far. Not.

Surely high level ranking decision makers have been appointed to lay down what technical solutions from which vendor(s) to use. As if they have more important stuff to do.

In short: if only sales (and lobby) talk goes in at the top guess what's coming out at the bottom.
