"The NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) will leave Linux for
Windows Server when it develops its new vote counting and reporting
application, which is slated to cost A$1.4 million over the next
two years.
"NSWEC information systems manager Ian Brightwell said the
desire to redevelop the application relates to the difficulty in
supporting a legacy development environment. "It's half
PowerBuilder and half Java for batch processes and this environment
is increasingly difficult to support," Brightwell said."
