"The British government's educational IT authority has issued a report advising schools in the country not to upgrade their classroom or office systems to Windows Vista or Office 2007. According to this InformationWeek story, the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency says costs for Vista and Office 2007 'are significant and the benefits remain unclear.' Instead, Becta is advising British schools to take a long look at Linux and open source suites like OpenOffice.org."
Remember to respond to these questions on your blog. Do not comment on mine. You may copy and paste the questions to your blog to help you. Write well thought responses that are at least a paragraph long. Then comment on at least three of your classmates posts.
1. Would you like to see WKHS upgrade to Vista or Office 2007? Why?
2. After doing a little more research, do you believe that the British government is correct in advising against updating to the new versions of the software?
3. What is Linux and Openoffice.org? Would these be better options for WKHS to go to? Why?
