What shocks me is that there was very, very little mention of this anywhere. Regular news, Mac news, PC news, nothing was said anywhere. This was really a back-stabbing, typical Microsoftian tactic, and they decided to be even nastier and pull it during a time that they KNEW that there was budget constraints.
Little mention, I guess, because this is standard procedure for MS. The press has already beat it to death, and Mr.Bush has already determined it's legal.
But your twist of all these students suddenly having illegal copies of Office and Windows, because your contract ran out... That's a new twist! Where is the liability there? Can MS now round these kids up in a paddy wagon and walk them off the gang plank? I'm sure the parents who are paying their tuition would like to know about this!
I think you should forward full detals to Ed Foster, of InfoWorld Magazine...
