EDITOR'S NOTE

Good Afternoon,

Pinks slips are being handed out at CSC this afternoon, but the IT services giant is trying desperately to keep news of the carnage close to its chest.

Speaking of pink, Microsoft is rumoured to be working on its own iPhone killer under what Redmond insiders dub "Project Pink".

If comments on iTnews forums is anything to go by, readers are far more concerned with events closer to home - such as when WebCentral will finally resolve technical problems plaguing its hosted exchange customers for two days running.
