Audit

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Well our parish school system is being audited bt MS....Which means we are going to have to pay a biiig fine and...By an open liscense for XP. Which also means that most of our school computers will have to be tossed cause they can not or ever will be able to run XP....

We're thinking about installing linux on everything before they get here.

WOW That sucks. Any reason in particular you guys are being audited by MS? Or is just one of there great ideas?

you mean to tell me your public school system has been committing fraud? and you people think it sucks if they get caught?

man, you sure do things differently down in lousiana.

Its da durdy souf.

Just out of wonder... you make it sound illegal. But could it just be that your school isnt getting the license for a previous version of windows renewed because microsoft wont renew them, and is forcing the xp upgrade?

I did not say it sucked....and our school parish does deserve it.

I just install it myself. I have nothing to do with weather it hasa liscens or not....The tech ppl from our parish call us. Tell us too build 20 win98 machines and that the parts will be there next week...So we do.

When I worked with the "Technology Coordinator" at my school over the summer we had many discussions on topics similar to this hehehe.
