So where do we go to learn about blame-management economics? [politics?]
I don't know, most people seem to learn that one very quickly on their own ...
The larger question we should be asking is simply "Do computers belong in high schools?"
My answer is: no. Therefore, I'm not really interested in the Windows vs. Linux battle in schools under collegiate level. I would rather the money go to books and supplies, thanks.
A different question should be: "Do all high school students have access to a useful word processor?" That's trickier and may be a more useful tack. All students *need* a word processor in high school. Do all students who need that actually have one at home? I don't know. Others on the list may be better qualified to answer the question. If they don't, do they know where they can go get one? Is Linux sufficiently compatible with the school system to work like this? Nowadays, probably yes. A cheap USB stick handles moving things back and forth to school for printing.
