hi Its a bit dated but in 2002, the country of Peru passed a Bill in their equivalent of Parliment mandating the use of FOSS in public instituitions. The Microsoft marketing machinery kicked up its usual FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt), and sent the voverment a letter.
A Peruvian Congressman replied to the MS' letter, point for point. Those issues argued over are still very relevant for policies... pls find links here: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Reply_to_Microsoft http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/articles/en/reponseperou/villanueva_to_ms.html http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/articles/en/reponseperou/villanueva_to_ms.html (this is the original letter by Dr. Villaneuva) I had not tried googling for that Bill.
