I got also one reply saying that, accordingly to other information source, the operating system will be Windows XP. I found no article saying that, but I found another page[1] saying it will be Vista. And this is from the "Plano Tecnologico" (technological plan) homepage. "Better": this page presents "Curriculum Microsoft de Literacia Digital" (Microsoft Digital Literacy Curriculum, in a free translation), and says that Microsoft will, in the agreement, made that "knowledge" available to "everyone" trough a public site[2]. Nice. I enter the site and click on "Iniciar este curso" (start this course). Strange. The only content is an error message complaining about a non up-to-date MSIE version... Fortunately we have also good news: the ministry of education is going to give every school access to a /Moodle/ e-learning platform[3]. (And, again, everything is in portuguese. Two of these sites have enlish versions, but the articles I'm linking have no translation.)
