[Fsf-friends] From an educational institution...

[Frederick Noronha]

This is what a friend shared with me...  Obviously Microsoft believes
that they can beat GNU/Linux on the price front. And get youngsters
hooked to it at the right age? FN

We are in the process of Acquiring MSDN Academic Alliance - for
Educational institutes only - costs around 799$ / year - gives full access
to OS and programs for entire institute -- unlimited number copies -
usefull for students as the course curriculum involves MS tools + the
industry too at present - job / carrier minded would still persist with
MS.
We prefered above MSDN AA program as keeping relevant OS+Package upgrades
once in 2-3 years would inturn cost much more than keeping the above
subscription alive....
