Best I've found is the summary page from GNU's Peru division.  This long link 
is for google's translation:

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gnu.org.pe%2Fproleyap.html&langpair=es%7Cen&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&c2coff=1&prev=%2Flanguage_tools

or, the original:

http://www.gnu.org.pe/proleyap.html

It seems to be an on-going process, and Microsoft seem to have wormed their 
way into the educational system through (a number of?) payouts $~500,000 made 
by Gates himself, in person.  This page (another translation), seems to cover 
it closely:
