U.K. government hit with another large computer failure - Computerworld: "Microsoft Corp. and Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS) run the DWP's network as part of a $3.8 billion information technology contract."
"The DWP, which is responsible for providing a variety of state benefits to about 24 million people, attempted to downplay the effect the computer problems will have on its customers, saying that the department's mainframe computers were not affected."
Good ole mainframes. As to all that PC shit: Time to ask for a refund maybe?
