Comparison of European Schools Preference (MS vs. OSS)

And Microsoft discovers…. (Drum roll please) Microsoft preferred by European Schools!

I love these unbiased surveys (this one was commissioned by Microsoft). I especially enjoyed their finding that “PC failures are 50 percent more common in the schools using OSS than in schools using Microsoft…”

Lucky for us, David Wheeler has a very comprehensive and truly objective collection of data (numbers) regarding OSS and the justification of its usage.

If you want to read the full Microsoft commissioned report, you can find it here.
