  1. Re:I for one, agree on How Schools Can Get Free Software · · Score: 1

    They want to see Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Access on your resume, not their OSS counterparts.

    My brother just graduated from high school on a partial scholarship, and he barely knows where the Excel icon is.

    Truth is, high school isn't the place for kids to develop intermediate or advanced skills in office productivity software; their needs rarely extend beyond the basics, such as how to indent a paragraph or use the sum() function.

    For those purposes, OSS solutions are fine. Anything more will require college and/or work experience.
