Microsoft should just donate the software for them. I am pretty sure they can afford it...

I am a big ColdEze fan... Just watch the "use only as directed" or they will tear you up.

Don't get me wrong, I think open source is a good thing, but the reality is that most of the business world runs on Microsoft.

If that want these people to actually be able to use the laptops and the skills they learn in the real world, they should be done on Microsoft software....


Anywho... Just my $.02.
