BSkyB Wins £709m Lawsuit Against HP-EDS

Posted by kdawson on from the pants-on-fire dept.

E5Rebel writes "In a massive legal case in the UK, HP-EDS has been found guilty of 'fraudulent misrepresentation' by their sales team when winning a major CRM project. Settlement could cost £200M out of an initial claim for £700M. HP's only relief was that parts of the claim were dismissed, but the core claim was upheld. HP is likely to appeal. Outsourcing will never be the same again. HP workers have been on strike against pay cuts last week; no doubt management will try and screw them further to pay for this debacle."

    If you bought an inkjet you got screwed before you ever had to buy ink for it.

    I wish the execs at EDS would be raped by wild packs of jackals, you know, similar to what they do to their employees.
