Suspicion over Microsoft gift to poor schools | |

As free alternatives to proprietary software gain credibility, Microsoft is preparing to give away its products to schools across the developing world. This comes as education authorities in poorer countries are turning to the free Linux operating system because they are unable or unwilling to pay for licences to use software from Microsoft and other commercial vendors. | ||
