School Software Licenses Under Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the excuses-to-sit-in-a-circle-and-spend-money dept.

Tony writes "ZDNet asks the question: 'Does Microsoft Campus give good value for money?' Its good to see a review of the dominant software, but the review is likely to lead to no or little changes, so the real question would be 'Is the review worth the money being spent on it?'."

    Iwould agree that it is much easier to support if all schools are running the same, but if they have to neglect other software concerns such as security, they should consider switching

    But by switching they neglect great deals like a free porche bundled with purchase of a million licenses.
    As long as OSS can't give out free porches as bonus to government-funded purchases, we're on a lost position.
