All this bagging on microsoft just for the sake of bagging is
getting old.
Frankly, I don't give a damn if they have ulterior motives; nor
do I care if there are state dollars involved. People are out
of work across the state, many from sales and manufacturing who
may not have much experience with the various Office products;
if programs like this get people back to work because they are
more employable as a result of said programs... well... more
power to 'em.
