The current offer from Microsoft says nothing about switching to MS for "everything." MS wants to charge the campus $300k for a site licence for several MS apps including Office XP for PC and Mac and WindowsXP Professional.
Some tentative plans for paying the fee included raising student fees about $10 and then charging "media" fees for university provided cd's.
This software would NOT be subscription or compulsory. Students who graduate would be free to keep any software they want.
At this point in time, it appears the university will reject the offer.
Do you honestly think that a significant percentage of MP3 sites are completely legal? I think our anonymous coward is perfectly right. I'm not sure I agree DeCSS violates anything, but how long are we going to hide behind the "but these MP3's are legal" charade? You know as well as I that most MP3 traffic is illegal...
