I have seen some of them using .NET for clients.

Yes, that’s what I was shown.

The non copyleft nature of VistA has lead to fragmentation and duplication of effort.

GNUMed does not have this problem, that I know of, but it is not based on VistA.

I can search for this again.

Tiag is a big Microsoft partner. Not only do they lack VistA experience, they also have zero Linux and Unix experience. So, Microsoft partners are shoving dreadful Microsoft EHR onto government hospitals while guarding the free EHR system.

Microsoft has employed enough lobbyists/moles to assure government bailout in case Microsoft goes bankrupt while patients depend on it — a subject I wrote about many times in recent years. And then there’s stuff like this which makes you wonder now that Silverlight is virtually dead:

Microsoft influence in that field is especially troubling because coders at the US Veterans Administration have developed a free and complete Electronic Health Record system calle VistA, which may have been placed in noivce hands recently. Microsoft is interested in medical records for obvious reasons and it is a regulated area of the sort loved by monopolists looking to suck from the public purse.
