Pichardo, while I applaud this initiative and hope it does turn into reality, I can't help but think how much money was used in payoffs. In the DR nothing happens "for the good of the people" unless there is an irregular exchange of funds somewhere along the line.
From my university experience playing the Microsft game is far from a win-win situation. It's great they are poning up for software and training, but this will come at a significant cost. Students will be locked into only MS software even if there are better alternatives out there.
If this program is approved and is rolled out to the masses as planned I will be very surprised. Even more so if the program last a year without the funds being diverted to someone's pocket.
