I've been getting reports that the Business Software Alliance (BSA) has setup shop in Strait Street, Valletta. They are emailing all SMEs in Malta (batch by batch) informing them about unauthorised software they are using. They are also following up with a call.
One particular client of mine got a call from Microsoft Malta. Guess we now know what they're really doing here. Anyway, quite a few of my clients have been approaching me for alternatives, and I have been driving them the Libre Office / Thunderbird + calc plugin route. This will work well for most of my (relatively small) clients - though I'm not sure how a large office would work. Most clients actually have genuine Windows licenses (those come with the computers). It's Office that they need to replace. Perhaps a few articles on The Times about this would be really topically relevant whilst this is going on. K
