Linux in schools.

How do you feel about the transition to school for free software, t. e. for Linux and similar systems?.

I am in favor of sotruzhestvo Microsof, the whole world uses software from this company and deputy head teachers in ICT do not have to sleep on its laurels, and spend the day and night on the websites of the company and to draw their benefits from the exhibited information.
We teach students search the Internet, while they themselves are afraid to spend an extra ruble for the good of our school. It's not for effect, but for the action: I'm looking for my currently have 40 licenses for Win 2000 from the company for the school. I am sure that Microsof will always support our education, learn from Microsof, receive certificates and have benefits for their OC. Sorry for the tone of an obsessive.

looked at Linux. While no experience can not say. Here on Win XP I am also heavily crossed. Do not they were buttons. About the same impression of Linux.

Children today told the anecdote:.
'Microsft conducting a new campaign: ...

You can change the anecdote, adding urgency:.
'Microsft conducting a new campaign:' hoisted science teacher ON WINDOWS - will receive a T-shirt from the company '.

' If this continues, it will soon do pirate windows will not be easy to get. '.

And whether you want? . I regret that with the presidential supply computers to rural schools went software only Windows - not Linux, because of this, because Russian schools had a chance to get acquainted with this remarkable system for several years before.
Now will have to catch up.

In our area, 10 secondary schools and the same general. Two of them are already installed and use Linux! . Some of them (I know that is exactly one tenth ) were taken on a vacation home, and distributions of Linux installed at home.

Apparently our area (region), a special. maybe this is your special. One thing is clear: our regions are not similar.

Well rejoice in Volgograd in the regular school podsazhivanii them to ' needle license ', but the winner is still on the right should be regarded as M $, t. to. price ' discounts inhumane ' still kept the whole region. I read the news, that in Europe some time ago, it failed to achieve this, when all the education in the region switched to Linux ( read in ComputerWorld Russia: the fact of ingrained in the memory ):))) M $ has done the right conclusions.

I even have a suggestion for you: send a link to this forum in M $, and maybe M $ will make you the same discount on their products, as in the article. If you do not help, feel free to put Linux, and then begin to negotiate the return migration from Linux to Windows. :) ) Good luck!.

I prefer not to speculate, and not to long of time-consuming to develop the service of precast computer class Linux product. Experience supporting a negative. We'll see.
