Free Software For All Russian Schools In Jeopardy

Posted by kdawson on from the borg-not-taking-it-lying-down dept.

Glyn Moody writes "Last year, we discussed here a Russian plan to install free software in all its schools. Seems things aren't going so well. Funds for the project have been cut back, some of the free software discs already sent out were faulty, and — inevitably — Microsoft has agreed to a 'special price' for Windows XP used in Russian schools."
