Re: [ubuntu-uk] N.H.S
I think the cost of replacing microslow with linux might be higher and the testing involved in making sure other system build to work on microslow would have to have rework done to get them work on Linux.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] N.H.S
IIRC, Microsoft won the contract in 2004/5, but the NHS used a linux solution (from Sun?) as a bargaining point to get a lower price from Microsoft. The price paid for the cost of the licenses was £500m. Please can we refer to Microsoft by the proper name, it looks childish and goes against the image that is needed to win these contracts that are viewed as important use cases. Matt.

My mum is a home care NHS nurse, and when I was talking to her about her work computers a while back, she told me they use a mixture of systems. I know they use MS computers for things such as creating documents, but they also use something else (I think a specialist *nix system of some kind) to store patient records and other medical notes on, for security reasons. 2009/2/10 Alan Pope a...@popey.com 2009/2/10 Matt Jones m...@mattjones.me.uk: Please can we refer to Microsoft by the proper name, it looks childish and goes against the image that is needed to win these contracts that are viewed as important use cases. +1 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- Simon Wears munkyju...@gmail.com | http://MunkyJunky.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
