Royal Mail Should Migrate to GNU/Linux
Summary: 2012 starts with more Microsoft failures at Royal Mail
SEVERAL weeks ago we wrote about the bitter experiences that Royal Mail was having with Microsoft Fail. The British mail service faced massive embarrassment after it had chosen to work with Microsoft. it’s still as embarrassing as before at the start of the year. From IDG:
Royal Mail has confirmed that it is still suffering from website glitches that began more than a month ago following a migration of online data to new servers.
The issues caused some customers to be overcharged, and many services, such as the Royal Mail SmartStamp and Online Postage applications, were knocked offline over the busy Christmas period.
Maybe it’s time to get back to something which is widely used and actually works. █
