Story: Open source awareness growing in Scotland
Posted by: Anonymous (Tuesday 30 August 2005, 11:52 AM)
The decision to use MS in these schools is NOT being taken by IT professionals. It is being taken by school administrators who want to maximise their funding by claiming MS software as sponsorship 'in-kind'. No other supplier is allowed to count their software as sponsorship in this way. Surely you agree that this is unfair and anti-completetive?
If schools were able to choose the market leading software OR go for something else(without being penalised) and spend the sponsors funds elsewhere, I would have no problem with this at all.
