Sorry for the Danish post i hope you can translate it.

The Ministry warns that Microsoft programs can create problems for written exams for students with Mac computers.

Users who have updated the programs to the latest version may experience the programs running slowly, freezing and crashing. This means that the examinees are delayed in their work and that parts of the answers risk being lost, write the Agency for Education and Quality and the Agency for IT and Learning in a notice to schools.

So you're okay with pushing Microsoft down people's throats. I don't want nor need Microsoft software, I shouldn't be forced to use it. There are few legitimate software.packages that require windows, say adobe Photoshop (also, fuck adobe for that) but just standard school stuff doesn't and shouldn't require windows or Microsoft software
