US Army overspends a quarter trillion on MS software
Thursday, June 26, 2003
Slashdot has a story about the US Army buying $471,000,000 of Microsoft software, half of which it bought twice. Good to see they're misusing my tax dollars on a massive scale.
"The great things about this deal: the Army is going through a reseller, when clearly they have the purchasing power to buy direct; and most of the computers they purchase are normal consumer machines which will be purchased with Windows and Office already installed, so the Army will be paying twice for each machine."
