Microsoft's Big Stick in Peru | |
|
||
| Time: 19:02 EST/00:02 GMT | News Source: Slashdot | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||
|
An anonymous reader points out a Wired story on the continuing Peru saga. In this latest episode, Wired notes that the U.S. Ambassador to Peru has chimed in in support of Microsoft and in opposition to Dr. Villanueva's bill which would have mandated open source software be used by the Peruvian government. On the one hand, sure, our diplomats have a national goal of promoting U.S. enterprise, but do we have to promote companies which we are simultaneously pursuing in court for numerous violations of our laws? Isn't that a bit counter-productive? | ||

sunglasses@night - It's not just Michael, but yes he's the worst.
Slashdot does censor. That's what the entire moderation system is really all about. Watch for mass-moderations, they happen frequently. This best sums up slashdot: http://carcino.gen.nz/images/index.php/00b9a680/463c5922 |
