BBC and Windows 7 (continues)

The BBC Fair Trading Unit passed the OSC's complaint to the BBC News website, so the OSC has pointed out that the issue of governance is the responsibility of the Unit or, if it remains unwilling to handle the complaint, the BBC Trust itself.

Summary of first followup

The OSC's complaint to the BBC's Fair Trading Unit (summarized on this site here) was passed by the Unit to the BBC News website because the BBC have classed it as an issue of editorial choice.

The OSC has responded by pointing out that the original complaint was about governance so, if the Fair Trading Unit was unwilling to deal with it, the OSC would take their complaint direct to the BBC Trust.

The OSC has again had to remind the BBC News Unit that the 3-minute item appeared to be a Sales presentation rather than the news review that the BBC claim it was, since the product itself is not expected by its vendor to be fully defined and released for at least 2 years.
