Ministerium advarer om, at Microsoft-programmer kan skabe problemer til skriftlig eksamen for studerende med Mac-computere.

Sorry for the Danish post i hope you can translate it.

The Ministry warns that Microsoft programs can create problems for written exams for students with Mac computers.

Users who have updated the programs to the latest version may experience the programs running slowly, freezing and crashing. This means that the examinees are delayed in their work and that parts of the answers risk being lost, write the Agency for Education and Quality and the Agency for IT and Learning in a notice to schools.

    Yeah and I think that is a bad thing ™

    Sxhools and governments should focus on using open source tools, let people decide what they want to use later. If you want to torture yourself with Microsoft tools that’s your decision but I won’t let a government tell me I have to pay that company money against my will

          Its not about Linux being good or bad. I run Linux myself

          I wouldn’t though, if I was taking classes that needed me to run certain programs

            I always have for the past 25 years. I always managed to adapt and it had become easier every year.

            No university should ever require students to pay an abusive company money because reasons. Microsoft doesn’t bring anything new or good tot he table, there are free softwares for everything, so allow me to use that.
