As portal.bg<\/a> reports, Microsoft Bulgaria is advertising<\/a> the release of www.teacher.bg – web portal for the Bulgarian teachers.<\/p>\n

The only problem is that the advertised as “the educational portal of Bulgaria” is… not working. As you can see on the screen below, the portal is not configured properly<\/p>\n

\"Misconfigured<\/p>\n

Portal.bg quotes different articles from the last five years, which show the connections between Microsoft and the Bulgarian government, which have led to spending more than $ 44 Million for rental of 48,000 copies of WindowsXP\/OfficeXP, which makes the price of this software more than twice higher than the price at CompUSA.<\/p>\n

MS Office upgrade<\/a> 2007 is $ 279, Windows XP pro, upgrade<\/a> is $ 199, or total of $ 479 per computer<\/strong>, which is about 50 % of the price the Bulgarian government has paid Microsoft ($ 916 per computer<\/strong>) for renting<\/strong> the same software.<\/p>\n

\nupdate from May 21st<\/strong>: The portal was working, and you could see pictures with English texts (obviously not from Bulgarian class rooms). Check the article at portal.bg<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n

update from May 30th<\/strong>: A journalist informed me that the portal is not working again. And it was true – connection timeout. However, I will not do more updates here, because that means to keep the topic always on the top, as the portal will keep on not working often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
