Never one to miss a chance to have a jab at Microsoft, I came across this article on TheRegister.
Without getting into too much detail, (you can read the article yourself if you want copious amounts of detail.) It appears that the Microsoft Newham council win might have more to it then meets the eye. In fact, to put it quite bluntly, TheRegister poked holes all though the report that won MS the deal. It seems to have some very questionable aspects and assumptions. (I’m deliberately understating it.)
Like I said, read the article for yourself, at the very least, it’s good for a laugh.
