the public administration and
January 27th, 2009
My writing on this topic is a little late because this story appears at the beginning of March. But then this blog was gone I just skladirah reaction later. Read the news page of the Ministry of Public Administration and Administrative Reform, how would once again not to pay “homage” to Bulgarian politicians and in particular Mr. Nikolay Vassilev for the next step, which affirmed the positions of Microsoft’s strictly national land. Nezapoznatite there for a little sample:
“Within the annex to the open license agreement between Microsoft Bulgaria, state and MSAAR 60 000 employees of the state administration can free yourself from installing licensed software on their home computers.”
And this time, in which the EU is seen increasing interest and adoption of open source software … and other irritating to me. The last thing you identify with the word Maykrosft word is free. Come on, who mislead? So right rough on the accounts specifically for home users combination of Windows XP or Vista in version pooryazaniya plus crippled version of MS Office 2007 comes to 800lv. VAT. For unbelievers - open arbitrary prices of some of our leading computer companies and check. Surprise is guaranteed.
So how is it possible to be free. Yes, for specific 60 000 people will be free maybe … but we would pay it myself, you and other Buddha through taxes and other completely legal means. I BG in reality this is the least that can happen, but I can not stay indifferent. Vasilev why you could just take state money 60 000 blank disc to record any new GNU / Linux distribution and gave them to employees. Then hem would be educated, hem targets 60 000 people would have a step closer to the European concept of value and free software. Poor is poor practice in Bulgaria is somehow transmitted by inheritance. So now expect the successor of Vassilev like to give “free” software not 60 000 well on 120 000. I hope I am wrong …
