</div>I've no asked to push one or another proposition,<br>
I just said it is not done that they push ONE and ONLY, implicitely, by<br>
ignoring alternate offers based on Mac or Linux:<br>
if they are not the reseller themselve, they can (will) as gov inform the<br>
citizens about available alternatives.<br>

</div>Mmm, sorry, IMHO this is another issue: for now the most important thing is<br>
"informing":<br>
- we do need to inform the minister's department (fedict) about those wrong<br>
choices<br>
- ask for implementing thos task by providing information on all the<br>
concerned sites, because there are Mac and Linux solutions near Windows.<br>
