The agency that takes care of all things technology in regards to education in the U.K., Becta, states in a <A href="http://news.becta.org.uk/display.cfm?resID=35287&page=1658&catID=1633" linkindex="17">press release</A> that the upgrade to Vista should be "avoided."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/01/14/british-schools-say-no-thanks-to-vista-and-office-2007/">Considering that free and open source operating systems and office suites do things <A href="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/04/27/cage-match-ubuntu-linux-vs-windows-vista/" linkindex="18" set="yes">about as well if not better </A>than Microsoft products, especially if price is taken into consideration, this is hardly surprising. Becta stated that a primary reason is incompatibility - Office 2007's lack of support for the ODF format as well as the new Office format (those blasted DOCX files) - which doesn't make it a hot contender.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/01/14/british-schools-say-no-thanks-to-vista-and-office-2007/"><DIV>The beginning of a trend?
