Ontario Schools switch to Star Office

Apparently the Ontario Board of Education signed a big deal with Sun and now every computer in schools will be using Star office instead of M$ office.

Sounds like a good move to me!

Sun had more money then Corel, thus they are more worthy to make money then the later. :lol:

Kinda goes against the "supporting Canadians" ideal, though.

By this logic isn't Microsoft the most worthy to make money, since they have more than anyone.

Shouldn't we choose Wal-Mart's software then?

I don't think that Walmart makes an Office suite for the PC.
