I think that with a secret 'vote' they recently managed to toss out
the man who had migrated Bristol to FOSS.
It's like the British version of Peter Quinn (Massachusetts).

As even ministers said, Microsoft is like a cult. Their "auditing" is dinner with bribes
and all that jazz. Sometime they use jobs/revolving doors as a tactic.

To ignore this is to be delusional as plenty of evidence already exists.
