The Education Secretary, Charles Clarke, said Microsoft had reached an agreement with the government's educational technology agency, Becta. "This kind of agreement shows the advantages in co-ordinated procurement for schools across the country."
The Becta press release is on http://www.becta.org.uk/corporate/press_out.cfm?id=3098 Am I reading this correctly? MS cuts their prices and the government promotes it for them? Absolutely incredible. They say you can't buy that sort of publicity (errrm).
