NHS offered own Windows system: "The NHS is in discussion with Microsoft about the possibility of a health service-specific version of its Windows and Office products." "Microsoft is in talks with the UK's National Health Service (NHS) for a "tailored" version of its Windows operating system and Office desktop suite in a deal that could have huge implications for the way it sells to its largest customers - but the company denies it will sell a 'stripped down' cheaper version." "Granger has previously and very publicly stated his demand for much bigger discounts on Microsoft software based on the NHS' bulk purchasing power of over half a million licences."

Windows for Welsh Folk as well. This is funny: IBM patches Hitachi laptop hard drives. In more BBC news bad picture usage: BBC NEWS use a picture of a mini-disc player when talking about MP3s! (see the picture here.) New Doctor Who.
