[school-discuss] Microsoft - At it again with Schools...

[Harry McGregor <micros@azstarnet.com>]

I just had this email forwarded to me from OSEF's primary Linux on the
Desktop site (Corbett Elementary School, www.corbettschool.org).  This
came in through TUSD's IT listservs.

Of course if you read the Microsoft website, they are trying to pull the
computers into the schools yearly licensing scheme, and thus they
schools will end up paying for them year after year...
