We've been in Microsoft's vice for years now and it has put the software industry back by as much as 3 years. Their monopoly must be defeated and if it takes Google's money to do this then so be it. At least they are embracing open source unlike Bill Gates of Borg.
Computer Science. If you stick with it and don't let failure get in your way it really is a great degree. IT I don't know so much about but MBAs and accountancy? WTF! This guy says he wants to work with computers and by suggesting business you're really misleading him!
So I am not alone in questioning the maths side of things? Good. My major is computer science and let me say my maths is not strong but I have had no issues with any of my computer science papers. However when it comes to maths I am stuck, it's dry and does not relate anywhere to my degree that I can see. I've taken courses in algorithms, language theory, databases etc. and the majority of the work is not maths and if it is it's so obvious anyone can see it. To help gain experience I'm doing some part time work in the industry before I graduate and it comes up nowhere in that line of work either.

Especially after the Haneef scandal. American and Australian intelligence is not to be trusted.
