We ahve one hell of a strong local M$. They've infiltrated our shools in such a way that our secretary of schooling has a _contract_ with M$ giving it a monopoly over our schools. That hurts, especially when I come to school and hjave to work either on mess dos 5.0 (ouch!) or WinNT (ARRGH!) 4. That has a ph.D. in sucking. Our goverment uses only M$ products (and we _do_ have high corruption) inside. HrOpen, a local open systems group, though considered very important, wasn't asked a single quiestion when a study about the development of Software firms was being done, and, interestingly enough, the CEO of Microsoft Hrvatska was in the comitee... OUCH!

btw.. the school I mentioned is linked to the museum in which last week's summit was held, so I had a friday off :)
