And the State of Mass is employing people with poor eye sight to sit behind a computer monitor why? |

Here's the problem. Blind people can't use their accessibility tools with openoffice.org. They devices are all geared to work with Microsoft. The Mass guys knew this would come up. If they can't use their devices, they will lose their jobs. So, this deal could get derailed because of it. The rest of the drama is about Microsoft cashing in their chips from all those political contributions. |
