Combine that with the MS tax
This doesn't make any sense. Like I said, virtually everyone in the country either has school-aged children, or can easily find one - so who *won't* get a free MS license if this was the deal? Last time I checked, there were deals for *teachers*, but not for kids or their families. So the teachers find it very convenient (and cheap) to use MS, and who cares that the kids' families need to buy all this expensive software, or alternatively break the law. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Feb 5 2012, n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Writing software is like sex: One mistake http://nadav.harel.org.il |and you have to support it forever. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
