This needs to be communicated to school districts. Even better, 
alternatives need to be communicated to *everyone*, because most people 
still don't KNOW that you can run anything but Windows on a PC (PC. vs. 
Mac is a great example). If people understood what open source was, 
especially schools, many of them would be running Linux instead of Windows.

Kinda makes you wonder about WinME/Vista. It's almost like they KNEW it 
was going to flop, so people would DEMAND XP.. so they have their choice 
right there, never noticing the other alternatives. Keep em feeling like 
they have a choice.

Hmm. Political events seem to have parallels to this as well (Ron Paul 
anyone?). Ok, I'm *way* OT now, I'll shaddap ;)
