I wouldn't want to sound like I'm defending MS, but after reading this article I have to agree with Magik concerning having better business advisers at the schools. The article indicates that the school system admits to having a flawed inventory system and therefore are afraid to undergo the audit until they've cleaned up their act.
If I were a taxpayer in those regions I would want to know why the schools didn't have their acts in order...24 districts, 25,000 computers, 60 days. That's an average of 16 computers a day per district to check documentation on...hardly an insurmountable task if checking documentation doesn't include "creating" documentation.
