Once more, Microsoft is trying to use its $power and influence$ to intimidate
companies, and now even worse, countries!
As a brazilian, I cannot accept this kind of behaviour. Brazil is a poor
country, and the adoption of free software would boost **specially** the
education in public schools, as our students would be able to integrate
the digital community. Software costs is still a problem in establishing
labs in schools. I am talking about students that doesn't even know what a
computer is like. And they cannot be denied this opportunity just because
some company does not like it.
I am not even talking about the use of free software in government agencies...

I think there's a fair chance that, if this story is really true, that MS's foolish actions here will cause a backlash in Brazil and other places against MS causing them to lose business.
