The scuttlebut in Detroit is that you do not want to get involved with them.
(Detroit = the Motor City = headquarters of GM, who just bought EDS and is
combining their data processing operations with EDS's).  No, I haven't
personally worked for EDS, but I do have a reliable source.  In light of what
has already been posted here, I don't think you need the details.  I don't
know if anyone is willing to go on the record about it, since it would mean
their livelihood, at least for a time.
