Microsoft: a useful new remedy

Curt Wuollet, writing on OPOpinion, asks the important question: Government Contracts – Why Does Microsoft Still Have Them?. After the feds and many states have been pursuing Gates & Co. for so many years, you have to wonder why the federal government is Microsoft’s biggest customer. As Curt points out, this is a no-brainer, low hanging fruit, and would open up some big opportunities for Microsoft competitors–not to mention providing a powerful incentive to Microsoft to clean up their act.

For all his ranting, how come Dan Gillmor hasn’t brought this one up by now? Or the high paid lawyers at ProComp and the other anti-MS groups?
