,----[ Quote ]
| At the Microsoft Leaders Forum in Berlin in January, Spanish Secretary of 
| State of Education, Eva Almunia, presented four students working with Tablet 
| PCs, using Microsoft.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| The Spanish Ministry of Education has not considered any other vendor apart 
| form Microsoft, there hasn't been a public contest, and the media and other  
| vendors were not informed about the pilot program until it was over. 
| Furthermore, no other alternative has been considered.  
| 
| If the plan gets the green light, it would have dire consequences for the 
| communities of Andalucía, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Valencia, and all 
| the other autonomous regions that already have a Linux-based IT 
| infrastructures, which have already been paid for and are in use, in place  
| within their school systems.
