  Admittedly it may look that way, but I think it's actually one of RH's 
brightest moves. Think about it - if this somehow works out, they come out 
smelling like a rose. If it doesn't work out, they still smell like a rose, 
at the expense of Microsoft who seems to be more interested in getting more 
licensees than a good education for kids. PR is definately a game RH is 
learning to play well, and I suspect that is perhaps the only way to compete 
with MS.

  Hmm... that might be a good idea, but what comes first the software chicken 
or the school usage egg? ;-)
