We've been rumbled! After all that tireless work getting around the pesky internal conflict of interest paperwork, UK law, and EU law surrounding purchasing using public money all it took was an uninformed poster to an external mailing list to subvert the BBC/Microsoft conspiracy! The master plan, involving thousands of brainwashed employees and regulators, to slay all alternative operating systems and make some real money has been thwarted!
