The current offer from Microsoft says nothing about switching to MS for "everything." MS wants to charge the campus $300k for a site licence for several MS apps including Office XP for PC and Mac and WindowsXP Professional.
Some tentative plans for paying the fee included raising student fees about $10 and then charging "media" fees for university provided cd's.
This software would NOT be subscription or compulsory. Students who graduate would be free to keep any software they want.
At this point in time, it appears the university will reject the offer.
