That is how my 5 and 3 year old daughters would hear it in this
situation.
I see it differently. Not because I like it, or agree with it, but
because I am a cynic and believe the Israeli mindset to be different.
I see it that they will say that they have a limited budget and the
cost of providing the service to Windows users is something they must
do, but to pay the extra money for FOSS support is a losing bet, as
they don't know if anyone uses it, and they can use Windows (and M/S
products) instead.
If they want to make their service more accessible, then they would
spend what little money they have on iPod/iPhone/iPad apps and
possibly Android ones.
With that in mind, I think that the place to lobby for increased FOSS
accessibility is the ministry of Education who controls these things,
while private schools are just not going to have the money.
