  1. Linux in Universities by locarecords.com · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I think the is an inescable argument for LINUX to be used in Universities. At my Uni we are looked into Microsoft campus agreements that are *impossible* to get out of without an exceedingly shocking leave clause. Now whoever signed that shouldn't have but now getting out is harder and people get used to their software and then Microsoft becomes a very expensive *need*

    On the contrary if they had moved in an Open Source direction at least they would be spared this restrictive contract and they could have bought Office for those that were really keen rather than EVERYONE even *if they don't use M$ products!!!
