Microsoft Grants Their Way Out of Massachusetts Open Source Mandate
,----[ Quote ]
| Perhaps the headline is a bit overstated, but the news this week
| that Microsoft was making grants available to Massachusetts public
| schools and universities that would figure to be about $800 per high
| school student and $2,400 per university student it seems a bit
| suspicious...
|
| Last year there had been much chatter about abandoning any format that
| did not comply with open-source document standards. This pretty much
| would have meant that Microsoft's Office wouldn't occupy any of the
| desktops in State offices.
