"The Dutch government’s lack of vendor independence is too high a cost
for society, the Dutch Parliament concludes. The government should
enforce its policy on open standards in ICT procurement and should also
devise exit strategies - to reduce its dependence on ICT suppliers."
Now let's hope other governments follow suit. Via Jan Wildeboer.
