LOL, soooooooooooo corrupt! How corrupt? Well, you know you're corrupt when the government of Nigeria steps in to block your shady deal. Sheesh.

After trying to bribe a local supplier with a $400,000 marketing contract, Microsoft has still apparently [a href="vny!://www.computerworlduk.com/management/government-law/public-sector/news/index.cfm?newsid=6124"]lost out in trying to woo Nigeria's government[/a] to use Windows over Linux. Microsoft threw the money at the supplier after it chose Mandriva Linux for 17,000 laptops for school children across Nigeria. The supplier took the bait and agreed to wipe Mandriva off the machines, but now Nigeria's government has stepped in to stop the dirty deal.
