From The Register: “The Office of the e-Envoy is hotly – but not very convincingly – disputing claims
that the Microsoft-built UK government portal, gateway.gov.uk, constitutes a
Microsoft tax … In response to what seems to be a barrage of irate emails directed at e-Envoy
Andrew Pinder, one Keith Roberts of the Office of the e-Envoy has been sending
out a detailed explanation of the current situation. In, we kid you not, Microsoft Word
format.”
