Who is to say at this point that MS could not meet the requirements?<br /><br />In the past government procurement of software was seen as being biased in favour of proprietary software. It will be interesting if this tender represents a tendency to be biased in favour of OSS!<br /><br />FredFred Loguehttp://www.newmorningip.comnoreply@blogger.com
