Alone, it made sense, but the page that it linked to was all about... well, which _Windows_ operating system to use. And the last part about use of Linux systems suggests that Microsoft has ownership of Linux, as it claims that to use a free and open source OS one would have to pay licenses to MS. So much for "Becta is the Government Agency leading the national drive to ensure the effective use of technology throughout learning". I did do the research on what BECTA was and what their advice was beforehand, though I don't recall seeing even a mention of Linux at the time. Ah, well.
