Ministerium advarer om, at Microsoft-programmer kan skabe problemer til skriftlig eksamen for studerende med Mac-computere.

Sorry for the Danish post i hope you can translate it.

The Ministry warns that Microsoft programs can create problems for written exams for students with Mac computers.

Users who have updated the programs to the latest version may experience the programs running slowly, freezing and crashing. This means that the examinees are delayed in their work and that parts of the answers risk being lost, write the Agency for Education and Quality and the Agency for IT and Learning in a notice to schools.

      You don’t seem to know how that works.

      Microsoft will gracefully give lower licensing costs for students if the school opts in Microsoft and opts out the competition. It’s been a while (10 years ago) but I saw this in universities where then students had the choice, windows or mac because Microsoft forced it.

          University in Mexico, at least 10 years ago but I wonder if things have improved much.

          With opt out I mean that they are not allowed to promote Linux in an official capacity. Can’t use it on their own computers, etc. everything official must use a Microsoft format that sort of thing.
