 From a teachers point of view the thought that students are being 
handicapped is pure bunk.  My students routinely change operating system 
without even blinking.  They use K12LTSP Linux in school, e-mail work to 
themselves, continue working on it in Windows at home, send it back to 
themselves, and the next school day just keep on keepin' on.  Also their 
ability to change platforms is not limited to Linux and Windows but also 
to MAC OS versions 5 through 10.  I even have one student who uses OS-2 
because his dad brought a junk machine home from work one day.  All in 
all I feel it is the parents who are handicapped and through lack of 
knowledge are handicapping their children as well.
