Microsoft charity crackdown spurs boycott
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft faces a backlash from thousands of aged care providers and
| charities that are set to dump its software to avoid some A$50 million in
| price hikes.
|
| The Redmond giant is pressing ahead with new global software licensing
| agreements, some imposing a whopping 500 percent price increase, to stamp-out
| what it initially claimed were illegal uses of its discounted offerings by
| not-for-profit agencies.
