Not sure why smug. I'm not doubting that race is an issue/factor. But are the lily white shcools not failing? I guess its a matter of degree and and definition. > > > > I think that there are deeper reasons to believe > > that this is a from the frying pan, into the fire > > situation. > Not sure what you mean here?

I assure you that MS is not in the business of paying 45m in fees to have a school use 50k worth of their software. So this is not repeatable sustainable model, by a long,long shot. Isn't that clear? On the other hand I have no reason to believe that MS would have undertaken this if there was not to be an anticipated long-term return on their investment. What do you think the game plan is?
