Microsoft and Exam Boards and the OFT
Just to get back to the issue :-)If you want Richard to have a chance of
doing something he needs evidence. eg
Issue
University/exam board insist on us using a proprietary format to submit
work or in exam questions.
Why its anti-competitive
This prevents us using OO.org/Lotus/Wordperfect when there is no good
reason not to. This increases our costs.
Solution.
Standardise public funded activities such as setting exam questions on
open standards eg XML. If the requirement is an open standard, a range
of software tools can be used. If OO.org writer is chosen as the
standard, its free so there is no pressure to buy something from a
commercial organisation.
Just E-mail Richard with some concrete evidence from your own
institution and get anyone else you know who can do this to do the same.
