Microsoft that could act as a model for other public sector bodies.
The council had been involved in its own Linux trials last year with the Net Project group but council officers decided such a major migration would

Newham will also not now take part in the Office of Government Commerce open source trials with IBM, instead focusing its energies on talks with
