I presume because Microsoft never gives all details and they prefer to
work in secrecy when in fact it should be public knowledge. The
government ought to justify his choice, but our journalists just give
us the minister's version of facts! Obviously they are happy because
they are given a free business breakfast!! I don't think that many in the government department depend on microsoft as such. Most teachers/workers were very reluctant to accept a laptop (this is a fact, just ask those who work in the ICT) not because it was Windows or whatever but because they felt that they were going to add an "extra" burden to their load of work. I'm not a negative person at all (in fact I still believe that one day the government will have to change), but my experience with microsoft has made me highly suspicious when it comes to agreements. They use all nasty tricks! To believe that they have changed would mean that one is totally naive. What about smart city.....????? I always insist to start with primary students. Most parents would buy their own children their first computer before crossing over to secondary school. At that age they are very willing to experiment. By the time they reach university age, they would have already become rigid as scientific data amply proves. To work with young people one does not start when they are sixteen or eighteen years old but rather when they are much younger.
