Classic Brussels. Spend millions on something a college intern could build better in a weekend.

Honestly, it's probably not even about the tech. It's about securing the contract for 'development' and 'consulting'. The actual product is secondary.

But... don't they test these things? Why would they release it if it's so broken?
