Story: Microsoft licences too expensive, say schools
Posted by: Jon (Monday 16 January 2006, 1:28 PM)
Microsoft got rich by a combination of concentrating on what really matters to your average user (ease of use) not security and some shrewd business decisions.
People waffle on about security but the most insecure piece of technology people use everyday isnt a PC its a credit card.
Nothing could be less secure than your VISA card didnt stop it replacing a large % of money transations
Microsoft will not lose big school contracts even if it has to sell its software at a loss, its not stupid
