Re: [News] Linux Might Soon Spread to ALL Russian Schools!!

LOL.

"Aleksandr Ponosov, a former headmaster in the Perm Region, is a strong
supporter of the move. He was prosecuted for using a pirate version of
Windows on the school's computers.
 
?The problem that I've faced threatens most of my colleagues across
Russia. The use of pirate software is common. And often there's no
choice. So I've started a non-profit organisation to tell everyone about
the advantages of free software,? Aleksandr Ponosov explained.
 
And some experts say that Microsoft faces a major challenge as more
people move towards free software.
 
But Microsoft remains positive about its market leading position. 
 
?We are glad that people will have a possibility to choose different
operating systems. But we try to make our product the best one. We want
to make it easier for the user to realise one's potential. And perhaps
this is the most important for schools,? said Vladimir Gabriel from
Microsoft Russia.  

Kudos to Vladimir.
