[Dfey-nw-discuss] Microsoft DreamSpark

[Tim Dobson]

I'm going to take the unusual step of posting this to the list.

I see this as quite a depressing move as the propriety software vendors 
move to capture a young people onto the their brands without letting 
them have a second thought to whether it's right that they have no 
control over the software, no way of understanding how it works, and no 
way of sharing it with other people who might use it...

Hmmmm..

Microsoft DreamSpark enables students to download professional-level
Microsoft developer tools at no charge, to advance their learning and
skills through technical design, technology, math, science and
engineering activities. This program used to be open to College /
University students only. Now it is open to high school students too.

For those of you with children at school who haven’t seen this yet, I
hope that this will be useful for you.
