At bleeding last

Working in local government I've seen the abortive crap EDS dump on its clients up close and personal. I can't believe they *still* get huge government contracts, take the money, then turn around and say "oh sorry we can't do it for that price anymore - we need to renegotiate the contract".

Glad to see BSkyB not taking that kind of rubbish. If only the government and local authorities here in Blighty had the same stones...

It'd also be nice to see the government start doing large IT contracts the correct way - contract out the project management and then have them chop it up and contract out the little sub projects, rather than rely on one huge corporation like EDS who will just bleed you dry and laugh knowing there is no competition.

Ok, I'm calm now...
