Defra spent £312 million upgrading to Windows 10… right as Microsoft pulled support. 🤦🏻♂️ You can’t make this stuff up. This is what happens when modernization drags on so long that the target moves. The department did make progress, however, 31,500 Windows 7 laptops gone, 49,000 vulnerabilities fixed, and a datacenter shut down. But they also bought a “new” OS that’s already out of support. 😢 It’s a perfect case study in how technical debt compounds in public sector IT. You can’t patch your way out of a decade of deferred upgrades.
TL;DR
💸 £312M spent on obsolete OS
🖥️ 31.5K Win7 laptops replaced
☁️ Cloud migration still ahead
⚠️ 24K devices still end-of-life
