Windows Vista and Office 2007 Unacceptable in the UK

The agency that governs educational technology in the United Kingdom has advised schools in the country to keep Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s Windows Vista operating system and its Office 2007 software out of the classroom and administrative offices.

"Upgrading existing ICT systems to Microsoft Vista or Office 2007 is not recommended," said the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency, also known as Becta, in a report issued this week.

Becta officials said a study the group commissioned found that upgrading school systems from Windows XP to Vista and Office 2007 would increase costs and create software compatibility problems while providing little benefit.

naay open-source community sa cebu, naay mga outreach program sila nga gipanghimo pero mostly sa mga studs ug schools lang pud sa cebu lagi. last year, naa mi plano sa ako batchmates sa highschool nga mohatag ug sort of career information sa amoa nga sa school sa Loon then mga ginangmay nga workshops unta to (linux and opensource ang usa sa mga topics) pero wala madayon due to some internal issues sa grupo.
