Failure why #
See all MS has to do is point this stuff at the gov. I' mean if EDS can keep fucking up and the GOV does nothing, why wouldn't MS want a piece of that action.
Microsoft ropes in EDS to punt online services
Microsoft has signed an agreement with Hewlett-Packard's EDS outfit and several other partners to help sell its range of online services.

I, for one, welcome our new Enigmatic Penguin overlords.

Wow, if the higher-ups at MS can just stay on the golf course for a few more rounds we'll be shut of them at last. Underwater cheesecake throwing is their core competency these days.

Heh, heh! #
Microsoft, EDS and Accenture.
All they need now is CRAPITA ...
and they've got the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
