BECTA has already been reported to the Commission, which is probably why it
slams OOXML and Vista (defensive measures). After that fake 'open source'
gesture, BECTA made even /more/ enemies. Like ISO and the BBC, their
reputation is at gutter level among some. In both cases, you already see
attempts to pretend that there is choice (BBCers post photos of trying Linux
on the laptops). It's because their jobs are at stakes; they decisions are
frowned upon and the parliament too investigates it every now and then.
Ending Microsoft (+ecosystem) corruption won't happen overnight, but by
identifying those involved, you make the corruption harder to go on
uninterrupted. They thought they had found a loophole -- a fountain of cash
for life (secret deals with transport of undisclosed sums blindly funneled).
