Egyptian Activists Organize Against Government Plan to Spend $43M on Microsoft
- ArabGeek 14y agoThe deal value is Deal Valued at $40 Million activists want the gov. to use open source technologies instead of MS products
- hdra 14y agois there any detail on the spending? disregarding the $$$ of the deal, it is not that weird for an organization to prefer Microsoft's product if it is mostly about Windows+Office stuff. If it is about server/backend thingy/IT infrastructure, then yes, no reason to choose Microsoft over the free stuff.
- ArabGeek 14y agoboth, as for windows office their are free open source alternatives such as Libre Office and Ubuntu for Desktop
