Not directly related to the OLPC & Corruption issue but, something annoying's happening in Turkey, too. (First of all, let me start by saying that our country's got nothing to do with the english meaning of turkey and in contrast to the popular impression, it's not a country of radical religion some extremist groups of people notwithstanding) After this brief introduction let me come to the main point: Well the national telecommunication company of turkey (Turkish Telekom or Türk Telekom) has began to offer its E-Mail services ,which is bundled free with the ADSL subscriptions, on the Microsoft Windows environment! For years it has been offered thru a fine and effectively working Java application. Sadly, this change from Java to Microsoft occurred right after the turkish telekom 's been privatized. What annoys me is not only that the public services are being misused, it's also that this new Outlook like E-Mail service apparently favors Internet Explorer. This in turn makes people more dependent on Microsoft.... Just wanted to let you know...
