Apart from the iSoft investigation, I find it curious that no questions
(to my knowledge) have been asked in Parliament about this wasted money.
Such as "WHO authorised M$ to undertake this £40 billion project?", "Just
*where* has this UK taxpayers money gone?" etc. Though I've no doubt that
Bliar would sidestep the issue.
IMO a Parliamentary committee should be set up to investigate how M$ &
its partners have wasted this money, & *why* Gates was given an honorary
knighthood (March 2005) while this swindle (started in Nov 2004) was
being perpetrated at the time. (iSoft is/was a M$ partner).
(Though on reflection that should perhaps be done in the "Cash for
Honors" investigation).
As a side note, it was reported a while ago that "The Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation is currently working on a global health programme in the
developing world." After this fiasco, the developing world should be
very, *very* wary. If they aren't, may their god help them.
