Microsoft + OSS House of Lords evidence

[floke]

On 17 January Jerry Fishenden (National Technology Officer) and Matt Lambert (Government Affairs Director) from Microsoft were examined by the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology. Also examined was Alan Cox, representing OSS.

Its a good read (honest!) - especially the stuff about Vista security and MS responsibility for it.

Why don't MS buy some peerages... that would help sort those pesky lords out ;)

(A) Maybe they have (Mr Blair does rather like Mr Gates you know - might be angling for a free holiday)
(B) Maybe they don't need to!
