Well, I know of some primary schools (three) who flatly refuse to use anything
other than windows. All because of some "free" software which the kids 
use. And
it only runs on doze.

Sure I bought a windows PC a few months back so that my kids could run said
apps. Free and non-free. So yes, I use windows now. Sad, init?

The father in law said that it must be a doze box, my mac and linux were "no
good".
