Worrying number of failed “projects”, but more worryingly the cost of protecting and supporting ICT is easily circumvented by choice of platform. Antiquated OSes don’t need eeking out and better use, they need eradicating. I see XP everywhere, and the imminent support withdrawal/incompatibilities/vulnerabilities all costing. Gov needs to talk to platform developers like Apple, with their record of rock solid OSes, stability, lack of vulnerability, consistency of support and successful delivery of mass IT delivery such as iTunes. Get it righter by looking to success elsewhere……….

Test comment really.

But also: IT for self-service; quick wins. Brainstorm new ways of doing things with geeks and designers together (Rewired State meets Dott)
