Hmm, that must be nice... :-) One would think that as an educational

Strangely/sadly/funnily/whatever the most vocal opponents are the

Same problem here. The students love them...teacher(s) not so much.
Apparently enough so that this past summer, an entire lab of 30 Sun Rays
(which has been around for at least 8 years in some form or other) was
switched to new Windows PCs purchased by the school district, which have
less powerful specs than the current Sun Ray backend here, despite
countywide budget cuts and no staff pay raises for the past two years.
I wouldn't be surprised if the person who made that decision suddenly
and inexplicably has a new boat.
Of course, schools also suffer from Microsoft vendor lock-in
(http://wyang0.blogspot.com/2010/01/microsoft-licensing-for-schools-lock-in.

This is what happens when a very large marketing budget meets a
complete lack of scruples.
