Submission + - Mandriva: An open letter to Steve Ballmer (mandriva.com)

Freggy writes: "The Nigerian government recently chose the Intel Classmate PC and Mandriva for an educational project. The PC will be used in local Nigerian schools by teachers, parents and students all over the country. The Classmate PC was selected by the Nigerian government in spite of a competitive offer by Microsoft, because of its openness and customization possibilities. Now it seems the Nigerian government is replacing Linux by Windows on the Classmate PC, although they payed for the Mandriva software. Mandriva CEO François Bancilhon has written an open letter to Steve Ballmer complaining of Microsoft's "unethical" behaviour. The letter remains pretty vague though, so we can only guess what really happened."
