    Let's hear it for EDS

    With the amount of bad publicity that EDS has had it makes you wonder why people still go anywhere near them.

      Because

      Because they can provide you the moon on a stick. One of their salesmen told me that.

    Opps, 1 bad apple defense not quite enough.

    I wonder if he pitched any government contracts as well.

    EDS + UKHMG = ££££££££££££

    Who uses these people

    Seriously, have EDS received anything other than bad publicity?

    Maybe Sky, like the rest of us, already knew that EDS are a bunch of incompetent charlatans and suing was the intention all along. A cleverly constructed revenue stream!

    If not then which exec chose 'em deserves to hang
