Maybe not trying to answer your specific question, my own pet hate is
the insistence of teaching Microsoft Publisher in schools. I think we
should challenge this on the grounds that MS Publisher does not conform
to an open standard and is therefore going against the British
Government call for open standards in all government IT. I'm not a
desktop publisher user, but wonder how well something like Scribus would
fill the bill for schools?
