Open Source is coming to town!<\/p>\n

Just take a look at the savings of a school using Open Source compared to what it would have payed if it used MS products!<\/p>\n

Schools save with Open Source<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a nice present for the educational system economy…But I guess some contracts are more powerfull than a few more computers educating students.
\nHave you forgotten the contract between Microsoft and the Greek Government<\/a> ?
\nJust take a look at all these wonderfull things the Greek Government gains!<\/p>\n

  • Instant access to source code for the most current versions, beta releases and service packs of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows CE.<\/li>\n

    WHO is going to take a look at the source from the Greek Government ? The ministers ? for WHAT ? auditing ??? <\/p>\n

  • Expansive disclosure of technical information for the engineering-level understanding of Windows architecture<\/li>\n

    Now THAT’s usefull. Learn how a buggy system works. An excellent education plan. Learn from other people’s mistakes.<\/p>\n

  • Enhanced ability to conduct security and privacy audits and to design, build and maintain secure computing environments<\/li>\n

    Oh ok..now I feel secure. Our government conducts audits to maintain “secure computing environments”…wow! I guess that could not happen on any other platform..right ?<\/p>\n

  • Opportunities for visits by government representatives to Microsoft development facilities in Redmond, Washington<\/li>\n

    Yihaaa!!! Let’s travel to Redmond! Free tickets for the ministers! And their families ? Their little children ? won’t they play with uncle Bill ? …who cares about the rest of the citizens ?<\/p>\n

    enough. Get a life and start working for your citizens than your already full pockets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
