Enterprise open source Toolkit
Story: Microsoft denies role in Birmingham Linux flop
Using competing rival software to lower bids is hardly underhand
It's good business sense, I know the NHS got a masssive discount from Microsoft 1 million licences + (7 year lockin) when they threatened to even consider open source. That's the market in action.
Large public bodies should not be taking risks mucking around with open source software, if private sector companies want to take the gamble thats up to them
