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.

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.
