I thought that as part of the settlement agreement you could get the
equipment and grants and specify a different operating system or no

would be interesting to see about getting an equipment grant, but
specifically request that the system on the machines be K12OSN or similar.

catch 22, M$ is the system because it is what is taught and it is taught
because they think it is the system, round and round we go.
