Windows 8 also I read has been ...So nice Madaraka!<br /><br />Windows 8 also I read has been designed mostly to artistically liaison with the mobile technology.<br /><br />Mada, I have been using Windows since 1995 until I came back to Tanzania from U.S. at Musoma around 2003 and I still do use it. I was so hesitant to use Open Sources which was the centre of the Operating Systems for the use at JUA LTD, but as long as new versions were keep developed and we couldn't kept up, I reckoned to use Open Sources.<br /><br />I understood it also not a good thing really for me to always use and to our students by keep on instaling the pirate copies of Windows since most of them were anxious with news versions which they couldn't able to pay even for a single US $.<br /><br />All of our servers are Open Source and we have never ever developed a major glitch, and some of simple glitches can be rectified by the online sources that are widely available for Open Sources.<br /><br />Windows are here to stay when it comes to IT, and mostly for the profits, makes sense. I was reading one article that has some words saying, 'whenever Microsoft goes, IT follows'. This has true sense when money is involved. But when we look at our rural schools here in Tanzania that curricula now has ICT component, it doesn't make sense until we accept the Philanthropy of the such from peoples like Bill Gates and others which I do not count on for the vastness of our schools.<br /><br />I was recently approached by the Musoma Municipal Mayor regarding setting up a computer labs for two secondary schools of Musoma. On my budget of twenty computers lab, I apportioned half i.e. ten computers to be installed of Ubuntu 12.04 which are free and remaining ten with Genuine Windows 7 Starter Operating System that each cost US $ 70.00.Gerald Nyererehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625550134391528740noreply@blogger.com
