Follow-up from a story posted on OLDaily a week or so ago. As reported here, Microsoft has been leaning on schols, demanding that they pay a flat fee per computer or face an extensive audit in the next month. After the publication of an article in the Oregonian last week, Microsoft has changed its tune. This post from the Simple End User Linux (SEUL) list documents that. "The Portland Public School switchboard was jammed for two days with calls from Linux users volunteering to come to PDX from all over theCRLFwest coast to help with software migration. MS was hit with many angry calls from all over the place. I can onlyCRLFimagine the content of those conversations. Having Duin's column posted on Slashdot.org certainly helped get the word out about what MS was doing." This story is a long way from over. Microsoft may find itself doing a lot more damage control.CRLF
