What did Microsoft do wrong, actually? The letter doesn't say.
The letter does say:
Mandriva arranged for schools in Nigeria to acquire 17,000 laptops.
Mandriva put the deal together and donated the OS. They invested a lot
of time and money in it. Once the deal was done Microsoft swooped in and
gave them free copies of Windows to put on the laptops. If all of the
laptops get installed with Windows it means Mandriva has gained
absolutely nothing by doing this and MS has shafted Nigeria also by
locking them into their proprietary software.
