Linux and Microsoft in Indiana

Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on December 6, 2006

CRN has a series of stories on the increasing use of Linux in Indiana, under a program called Affordable Classroom Computers for Every Secondary Student (ACCESS).

"The amazing part of this is, with everything we're doing in the classroom, teachers don't bring up Linux," he said. "They don't bring up open source. They bring up curriculum. You don't want the focus to be on Linux or open source."

As usual there Microsoft are trying to spin this, but it's very hard to spin curriculum-based arguments.
