Portugal's Vortalgate — No Microsoft, No Bidding

An anonymous reader writes "Companies using software other than Microsoft's are unable to bid at many Portuguese public tenders. This is due to the use of Silverlight 2.0 technology by the company, Vortal, contracted to build the e-procurement portal. This situation has triggered a complaint to the European Commission by the Portuguese Open Source Business Association; the case is unofficially known in Portugal as 'Vortalgate.'"

Já se falou um pouco disto quando um user se queixou (tópico da infoexclusão) de não conseguir aceder a uma parte do site da CML, mas na altura o problema era do flash. Desta vez, parece que o problema é mais sério.
