OMG, what hole do you live in? Mandriva has been around a long time as Mandrake. It is great that MS has established an office in Nigeria so it can exploit the people for low wages. I hope they have established a sufficiently large office to support all the issues they will have with their Windows-based PCs. Mandriva's CEO doesn't need 15 minutes and he may well end up taking a sigh of relief that he didn't get the contract after all since Nigeria is so corrupt. Let MS have it. Corruption breeds corruption. Mandriva–relatively unknown? OMG, what hole do you live in? Mandriva has been around a long time as Mandrake.

Microsoft has established an office in Nigeria since 2000 and does not need to bribe anybody to offer it's services to Nigeria. As I have already reported that the so called "Open Letter to Steve Ballmer" was a publicity stunt to attract public attention to a relatively unknown Mandriva Linux. Now that Mandriva’s CEO Francois Bancilhon has got his 15 minutes, can we move on to more relevant issues? Cheers and God bless. Microsoft has more stake in the Nigerian ICT project than Mandriva.

The only real response Mandriva could do would be to counter-bribe the right people to get back into the game there.
