Another example is the compulsory KS3 "online" testing which requires a Windows client machine to run on. QCA are responsible for commissioning this software and it is propriatory software vendor RM who are implementing it. Schools running Linux thin clients have been told to "get Citrix" at the cost of thousands of pounds.
They have not told me - yet.
Interestingly the server software for the KS3 online testing is written on top of tomcat and postgresql, however we have been told that the Linux server has been scraped now
We've been using Centos for the KS3 server, but still need windows for the client. Don't think its scrapped - we only set it up 3 weeks ago.
