OSS push in VT Schools and Local Gov

,----[ Quote ]
| If we read this right it means there is real local government 
| preference for Open Source. Now right now theyâre going into 
| because of costs instead of control, but I think a taste of 
| freedom tends to stick around once youâve deployed a FOSS 
| solution and itâll be more difficult for Microsoft or even 
| IBM, Novell etc to get back in without offering serious 
| concessions.
| 
| I also like that they are informing people that students can 
| take advantage of OpenOffice, because itâs free too and 
| supports all the same formats. Thatâs very good news as itâs 
| an aspect of Free Software in schools which is often 
| overlooked (that what is taught can be taken home without 
| pressuring poor students to buy expensive software).
