I entirely agree. Our school saved loads of money by setting up loads of linux thin clients... It didnt go down well because of the word processing applications. 2 years later there all on windows. People dont like change, and wont give it a chance... Mainly because its free. They will happily learn how to use a mac if they had the opurtunity because of the "coolness" factor. I doubt this would come to anything, but it would save the schools 1000's of pounds<br>
