U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/11/0053239 [0]declan writes "My CNET News colleague Ina Fried has written an interesting article today about how [1]the U.S. Army has told Microsoft to stop sending free CD-ROMs of Office 2003 to government employees. In what's effectively a cease and desist order, the Army said: 'Your offer of free software places our employees and soldiers in jeopardy of unknowingly committing a violation of the ethics rules and regulations to which they have taken an oath to uphold.' Whoops! Perhaps this is Microsoft's latest way to [2]fight free software at the Pentagon. Remember that just 8 months ago, the Army [3]paid $471 million for Microsoft licenses."
