In the beginning was Word (Independent.co.uk)
Independent.co.uk has published
an article that looks at how the Microsoft legacy in the school system
affects the adoption of Linux.
"But can schools move away from Microsoft, as some in the business world are doing? There, the Linux operating system (which can be installed on a standard PC) is stirring things up: a typical Linux distribution contains OpenOffice - which is based on StarOffice, and compatible with Microsoft Office - along with other word processors. In the right hands, Linux pushes Microsoft off the desktop along with the most common viruses, worms and spyware. Linux, the argument goes, might help children to grow up to be computer-literate rather than Microsoft-literate."
Thanks to Philip Webb.
