It's a good start. The student's will still have to make a small conversion in their thought processes once they hit the real world and find that Windows is the predominate platform in most businesses. Who knows, maybe they'll influence the buying decisions once they get there. At least that's the bet MAC has been making for almost 30 years now.

Wow what an immense waste of money. This should not be done by a state and furthermore if they were to do something like this they should at least take an economical route of purchasing netbooks.
