“We know Gordon’s Education Secretary Mr Balls has a
long-term Orwellian fantasy whereby ICT is delivered to all schools
from a centralised, Cloud-based app-store run by the Cabinet
Office.“Such desire for total control probably exceeds even my jaded
imagination but with luck he will run out of money and time to
realise such a nightmarish vision. Even if you have no qualms about
‘Big-State’ control you can bet that there would be only a very few
chosen vendors allowed to provide state ICT (Capita, Serco, RM,
Microsoft would be about right). Down with the Cloud, I say.”
