Microsoft executives will announce a software donation today that would give students in Massachusetts universities and high schools some of the latest technology, including the ability to write their own software and build websites.
[Aren't there laws against trying to get students addicted? Isn't this the same Boston Globe which smeared Peter Quinn? Isn't this the same Microsoft who has historically threatened, squeezed, and even lied to schools? By the way, any GNU/Linux distribution permits students to "write their own software and build websites" without all the auditing, licensing, and viral problems associated with Microsoft. -- grouch]
"Ted MacClean, general manager of Microsoft New England, said Microsoft is looking to expand its name at schools in Massachusetts, but is not trying to monopolize the market."
people just go right and defend microsoft without any accusations being thrown at them.
if they have to defend something so bad then they must be trying to do it.
just for the uninformed microsoft is and always will be a convicted monopoly - they have shown no signs of changing their tactics despite the hand slaps from the DOJ.
You do know they acknowledged they have not fulfilled their obligations under court supervision, don't you? Maybe they need a tougher supervisor, such as the guy supervising them in the EU. ;-)
