Here in Spain, MS is reaching agreements with schools and publicinstitutions in order to provide almost at free of cost (just a symbolicfee) their products (Windows, MS Office...). And the agreement also includes staff training and tech support on their side. Turn-key solution. All included. No FLOSS company can compete nor provide that conditions. Kids will learn how to use MS products and so all government workers.
Not only in Spain, I'm afraid. Capitalism at its best.Can't *anything* be done about it? I mean, the pushers have even managed to circumvent the bidding rules that generally bind government agencies -- by providing their lock-in-ware for free.
