Cannot happen
Just so you understand. This cannot happen. Microsoft is the Scientology of the software industry. First they offer deals and rebates and kickbacks. Then software for a nominal sum. Then they give it away.Then they will pay you to use it.
But if you stray from the one true path, they will never find the bodies.

never happen, its all to get a better deal from the micropoofsOpen source in education
I would have to say that Open Source in education is overall not that useful though it is a chicken and the egg subject.Having open source drives the labour market to become more skilled in open source software, which in turn drives businesses to adopt open source software - since their workforce has those skills...
however it's really painful if you bring up a workforce fed on opensource to launch them into an actual business world of windows.
You can see this in universities, in a survey in our university 60% of all graduates going into programming jobs were taking .net positions, with the other 40% made up of cobol, C++, python and PHP. Yet our university course has 1 module on .net out of a possible 18 modules (3yearsx6modules) which mean's theres this massive gap between what we are taught and what is used in the workplace... which brings to question what the hell is the point in going through education to just be re-educated.
