Brazil opposition slams "arrogant" Microsoft | |

A project to provide thousands of cheap computers to Brazilian schools to bridge the digital divide in the vast country pitted U.S. software giant Microsoft Corp against the left-wing Workers Party (PT) this week. The politically-charged government plan to supply 290,000 cheap computers to all of Brazil's public high schools, was intended to spread basic computer skills and throw open Internet access in this country of big regional differences. But it ran into trouble last week when a judge ordered the suspension of the tender to chose a company that would provide and install the computers. Five of Brazil's fixed-line telephone operators were hoping to win the contract. | ||

| The country of Brazil would be stupid to put anything else but Windows on their school computers. No offense to Linux, but obviously there is MUCH more software available for Windows, and it isn't like Brazil has the $$$ to throw around on a poorly supported operating system ("available software-wise") and it's mere handful of programs. |
