Hi All,

It has been suggested that the relationship between some exam board syllabuses and certain Microsoft products is not in the interest of fair competition.  In my involvement with schoolforge.org.uk I have been asked to investigate this and see if there is grounds for a complaint to the Offiice of Fair Trading.

Could anyone who has been influenced by this relationship in any way and is prepared to discuss it and/or be cited in the communication with the OFT please contact me at richard@caliban.org.uk.

Further, if anyone has suggestions or other examples of this relationship please mail  me?  I'm aware that if all the messages hit this list then it could be overwhealming - I will either post a summary or try to collate them on the web in some way.
