support OOo and other open source projects together with their students.
They're all Microsoft addicts?
For the most part, the products are available at little to no cost.
Many of their products are very good (assuming you stay in the MS
world). Many recent graduates tell me that they have MSDN Licenses,
which pretty much allows them to use any product for free as long as
they are a student.
So, you give it to me for free..... and maybe with special
incentives..... most of the products are not bad... not a surprise
they choose them.
Microsoft has other three-year free software deals similar to the free
MS WebsiteSpark <http://www.microsoft.com/web/websitespark/> and
WebMatrix <http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/> programs--for those
free spirits who are not averse to also use proprietary software in
addition to open-source apps. And after the three years are up, they can
keep their free software.
For students, there is DreamSpark
<https://www.dreamspark.com/default.aspx>--DreamSpark is simple: (from
the MS DreamSpark website)
It's about giving students Microsoft professional tools at no charge.
