Better to waste a few million in litigation than $10B in useless contracts.
This ignores the time value of money. What if the couple of years prevents numerous security intrusions by foreign entities? It's not as if MSFT doesn't have the expertise or the manpower to fulfill the contract
Considering the DoD themselves say that the terms of the contract are outdated and they don't need it anymore, I'd trust their decision over random online comments.
The same DoD that has suffered massive leaks over the past 15 years and constantly misplaces funds from its budget? Not all random online comments are created equal
Compared to what? They lost at most what a few million in litigation costs compared the F35 project which is 1.7 trillion.
Does not register on the scale of say, your twenty year war.
What a completely useless and patronizing comment
The one that we're trying to slip out the back door and pretend never happened?
