Appalled at primary teacher's gift

Hi, A friend of mine has just recieved a HP laptop from Estelle. It is completely unconfigured, with a standard windows XP install. No teacher specific applications. No education specific ISP setup. No nothing. Surely we could do better in an afternoon. The machine was from Oxford LEA under a programme called 'Laptops for Schools'. I think something should be done. Any ideas? Apparently over 60 percent of teachers at the school have a laptop delivered at different times, but with no customisation at all, so they don't get used. I think this is awful. cheers tim pizey
