Bad deal all around

Gee, a university based in Seattle pushing a Microsoft based
technology on its students, what a shocker!

This is a bad deal for the students, who are going to be forced
to pay for it, no matter whether they choose to use it or not. All
those students with Macs, or who run Linux, or who own an iPod
are out of luck, but they still have to pay.

I'm sure that Napster will tout these figures in their counts of
subscribers/customers, despite the fact that they're usually
offering these services to universities at a rate where they lose
money on the deal. Ah, the sweet smell of desperation.
