old news: moscow government promotes Apple in schools

 As a result of some tenders moscow school will be (or already are?) supplied with ~7000 MacBook Desktops and 200 Mac mini as servers with resulting cost 400 millions rubles. I'm not sure if is this a laughing or a crying matter for several reasons. Firsly, consider a permanent buzz about so called "National Platform" based on Linux. Secondly, the very fact of this tender is yet another reason to think about wide spread corruption. And third thing... just look at this photo and you will get whom our government expects to see on election in recent years...
