“Commenting on a recent decision by Swiss courts to reject the
group of open source suppliers objections against the Microsoft
contract, Mark Taylor of the UK-based Open Source Consortium, said
the case shows how some government departments find it extremely
difficult to extracate themselves from using Microsoft’s
technology.“Taylor added that if the ongoing case finds in favour of
Microsoft when it finally concludes, it could set a troubling
precedent for open source technology uptake in the public
sector.”
