Microsoft stripping us of our rights again

This is ridiculous. Microsoft is completely paranoid. Why should I not be allowed to use MS Office on the LSE Network when controlling/viewing it remotely, although I am allowed to do so when I'm controlling/viewing it from a PC on campus? This makes no sense at all.

I also don't understand why LSE doesn't use and endorse Openoffice.org. I don't see where it is inferior to MS Office, and it certainly is superior to MS Office 2003.

Note the typical rhetoric: "not permitted", "possession", "own", "purchase", "MUST NOT".
