I know, I know! In the last time I wrote too much about Microsoft, but wasn’t my intention though. The thing is, every day, news from Romania is popping in my eyes, end everywhere I found the name Microsoft. Is that country under Microsoft domination on the IT market? I think the answer is YES! Today I read about the fact that MS is testing there a pilot program named “pay-as-you-go”. The program is not news nor a surprise; what mostly appears interesting is where they are testing it: South Africa, Mexico and Romania. Why would they choose these countries? Why are they not testing it in North America or other developed countries? Because of competition? Because a lack of options in South Africa, Mexico and Romania? He-he, try to imagine if the Romanian government will “decide” that this is a good deal and will make a governmental contract for the public institutions with MS?! Get the point? Make some calculations.. This is not an impossible scenario.   Anyway, you can read more here: “Microsoft quietly tests a new “pay-as-you-go” rental scheme for Office” – the comments are interesting too Alternatively, you can find a close Romanian translation here: “Microsoft testeaza în România un program pentru închirierea Office” – you will not find too many Romanians comments, I wonder why..
