Namibia Says "No Thanks" To Microsoft Donation With Strings

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you'll-laugh-a-lot dept.

The Register posted an update about Namibia's SchoolNet, Microsoft "donations", and what looks like Namibia final decision. Apparently, MS's "donated" contributions would have been so small (and would have required such a large investment in OS licenses), that SchoolNet Namibia found it wasn't even worth bothering with. A very interesting article.
