"British schools should not upgrade to Microsoft's Vista operating
system and Office 2007 productivity suite, the British Educational

software. It also supported use of the international standard ODF (Open
Document Format) for storing files"

(Time for Ubuntu members of parent-teacher associations to offer more
talks/demos in schools and at parent's evenings?)
