Let's just hope a shil from MS doesn't get their claws into a PHB type
that has power to make a stink in the school system.. they might kill
this deal just like the killed the deal in Cobb county for the iBooks.
"The sky is falling because our kids won't be using MSOffice and
Windows <ver>!!!!"

I hope this works out. I'd love to have a generation that isn't just
about playing games on their PeeCee. Wouldn't that be something. :)
