Maybe they are a bit more Linux-friendly on the actual computer courses 
(presumably because they recognise that a larger proportion of computer 
students will be using Linux...)  However S196 Planets, S282 Astronomy 
and S292 Explaining The Emergence of Humans all came with windaz-only stuff.

So, yes, really.  :)
