House of Commons requires Microsoft

MPs are not allowed to expense iPads.  The reason: they aren't 
from Microsoft.  Wow.

Note: iPads can fit into an MS ecosystem: just run iTunes software under 
Windows.  They don't fit into a Linux ecosystem nearly as well.

What hope does Linux have in such a bizarre environment.

PS: I would reluctantly understand "we don't support".  I don't understand 
"you cannot expense".  Surely MPs ought to be treated as adults.
