I sure do.  I think one of the most unique things about Sun Ray is that it
has a community and mailing list around it, with company engineers that
participate.  This is tremendous value-added.

The biggest hurdle for me personally is that Windows and PCs are thoroughly
established where I am, and the Sun Ray "revolution" is bottom-up instead of
top-down (where there is even some resistance to making our computing
environment heterogeneous).  Any funds we use towards Sun Ray come out of
local allocations (at least for now...I hope that may change in the future),
not what would otherwise be used to purchase desktop PCs (budgeted at the
school district level).

I guess I just kind of wish Oracle had opted to keep Sun's existing edu
programs while reworking them instead of eliminating them while reworking
them.  I anxiously await what comes, and I hope the outcome is favorable for
all parties involved :)
