Things to note:
According to M$, Uganda does not qualify for the 3USD windows (Only
windows!)
program. Elsewhere in the article, the more normal price of USD45 is
mentioned. Just imagine: the governments laptop program would have
been able
to provide laptops for at least 45USD less than it does now. And
that is
without office.
In regards to tax-money: the namibian government pays 667USD over 3
years per
computer for M$ licenses.
there is far more, very well researched info in the article.
just my free cents :-)
