SHARE: Change in Microsoft Office licensing

["Anderson, Julie LHS-STAFF" <AndersonJ@ISSAQUAH.WEDNET.EDU>]

A friend forwarded to me an article from WebProNews about the change
Microsoft's upcoming change in licensing for Office. They are going from the
customer being a purchaser to a subscriber -- you have to pay an annual fee
and commit to future upgrades in order to get the product. Some are talking
about switching to StarOffice from Sun. I'll forward the article to anyone
who'd like to read it....

Have any of your districts addressed this yet? I don't think we have.
