Re: [school-discuss] Microsoft license enforcement

["chip" <chip@force-elite.com>]

I don't think M$ will target schools, at least yet.  I *know* inside my 
school that there are many possible violations of licenses, but the 
possible Political and Public Opinion outcry if M$ regularly attacked 
public schools, is enough to keep them from doing so at this time.  

I think they have a much better plan of attacking somthing like the Texas 
DoJ, because it might not be seen in the public eye as attacking a person 
who is unable to pay or innocent.  However, the day will come when M$ 
does crack down on schools, but I don't think that will happen for at 
least a year or two..
