News Comment This is a comment on news story: From Windows to Linux - and back again It's a reply to comment: Windows->Linux->Windows Re: Windows->Linux->Windows by: nycace36  Let's look at the progression 1. The school has no money so it switches from Windows to Linux to lower costs. 2. Some of the teachers demanded Windows. 3. The school got some money 4. Laptops came automatically pre-installed with Windows and Office 5. Directions (from school administration alone?) that classroom PCs were to be setup identically to the Windows-preinstalled laptops. --- begin quote -- The IT budget is much bigger now but the school has the money unlike six years ago. The reason for the switch back to Microsoft operating systems? A lack of support from some of the teachers, says Perkins. --- end quote --- Further on --- begin quote -- The laptops came with Windows and Office installed - this was not negotiable. And then came the direction that the school PCs, those used in the classroom, were to be identical to the set-up of the laptops. --- end quote --- I smell a rat.... maybe one of the teachers' pets?? Someone associated with an M$ partner somehow got a hold of one or more of these teachers and administrators and probably made a very compelling AUS$$ offer! With the increased IT funding still so fortuitously available, these M$ partner$ $till $eem to wield $ome influen$e here.
