So? Businesses and corporations are expected to pay the licensing fees, why shouldn't the school system?

I'm no fan of Microsoft's products, but I do feel they've been improperly vilified. Ostensibly because they didn't donate enough to the democRATs. Microsoft has probably gotten fed up with the b.s. from all sides and finally just said screw 'em all.

The problem here is they don't have any specific evidence to show that there are license violations; Microsoft is basically extorting the taxpayers on this. This is just more of those infamous Microsoft business tactics that have made so many people hate them...

I think the school district should tell them to get a court order, and challenge their legally-questionable EULA.
