La stessa  cosa sta succedendo  (in misura ancora  piu` consistente)
nel resto d'Europa,  sempre sulla scia del progetto  "Intel Teach to
the  future" di  Microsoft +  Intel.  Vi  giro parte  di  una e-mail
passata su <edu-eu a gnu.org>.

60.000 teachers trained in Germany, with 120.000 more to come.

This is *frightening*. This is extremely frightening. Orwell was not an 
optimist, he was an idealist.

Microsoft is taking total control of the educational sector.

We have to fight hard and make it stop, as soon as possible.

In Germany, it's supported by a state academy. At least the project has 
not yet received support by federal ministries or ministers. But I fear 
that after the next election the situation might become even better for 
Microsoft.
