Our governments up here are very corrupt.  Microsoft has excellent marketing skills too that appeal to the civil servants.  Booze, whores and drugs - it was like that in the 80's and I have no reason to suspect anything has changed since I was with the premiers office in Ontario.  Booze, whores and drugs and a little payola I'm sure.
