[10:27] <foobarry> nhs pays MS £5.5M for 1yr of XP updates :(
[10:28] <brobostigon> ouch.
[10:28] <brobostigon> XP is EOL anyways, so will save some money.
[10:29] <foobarry> save how?
[10:30] <brobostigon> that £5.5mil can be spent on something more useful.
[10:30] <foobarry> they are paying 5M for the updates for 1yr after EOL
[10:30] <brobostigon> i see, wow.
[10:30] <foobarry> and again the next yr after no progress is made
[10:30] <foobarry> then MS will migrate them to win8/9
[10:30] <foobarry> actually in that cost is also office2003 updates :(
[10:30] <foobarry> http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240217389/Government-signs-55m-Microsoft-deal-to-extend-Windows-XP-support
[10:31] <brobostigon> so by that point, the nhs will be almost 15 years behind.
[10:31] <foobarry> i know how this works
[10:32] <foobarry> as i see similar fail in other large corps
[10:32] <brobostigon> ah.
[10:33] <MartijnVdS> it's all "we need a single platform for everyone" + "IT is a one-time cost right?"
[10:34] <brobostigon> lol.
[10:36] <foobarry> more like, get an army of project manager
[10:36] <foobarry> 2x or 3x the amount of actual techies

[10:39] <foobarry> i think the e7440 will be a popular model
[11:30] <foobarry> just tried to throw a bucket of water over the back fence which had a dead bird in it for a week
[11:30] <foobarry> ...somehow threw the water (and bird i think) all over me
[12:36] <popey> foobarry: good work

[13:41] <foobarry> not my finest moment
[13:41] <foobarry> all clothes except pants came off me before entering the house
[13:41] <foobarry> then gargle with mouthwash and took a shower
[13:49] <foobarry> "Really, Windows is more free than Android, since nearly every Android device-maker has to pay a patent license fee to Microsoft. "
[13:49] <foobarry> wow. just wow.
[13:49] <foobarry> did they really write that?
[13:50] <philwyett> foobarry: Look on the bright side. Least you had a bird make you strip on a Saturday morning. Not many others in here can say that. :-D
