RE: [info-tech] Microsoft Lawsuit

I really don't know why deciding to exclude your school would have any effect on the lawsuit as the group is huge no matter what.  I suspect all schools will be part of the suit and many will not choose to exclude.  We received one also.   Manson Northwest Webster-Home of the Cougars!

Any-whose, I am in a bit of a pickle as to whether or not to remove the school from the suit.    Reasoning   Microsoft has always given great pricing to schools on software The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is committed to technology in education We are predominantly Apple based I don't want to upset the applecart   So I am asking the collective group, what your opinions and choices will be with this lawsuit.   Thanks in advance for your responses. --  "If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery.
