Story: Becta takes Microsoft to the OFT
Serious alternative
Instead of spending 400 million on curriculum on-line entrenching desktop paradigms of yesterday, invest it in developing web based apps. The vast majority of educational software could be web based, and a lot is not that useful anyway. So you then have a situation where the local operating system is irrelevant and those that want to save money by migrating to eg Linux thin clients can. The money spent on COL is equivalent to approx. £50k for every hour of the statutory curriculum. The governments e-strategy is about moving to the web yet they have invested in entrenching the desktop monopoly platform. Go figure.
