I agree with you about schools complaining that they don't
have money. However, the schools don't have to pay for most
of the software they use. The commercial proprietary
software is given to the schools by the software companies
so the next generations will be taught on that software and
then later they will demand it in the work place. That is
exactly what the software companies want because it drives
up sales.
Actually, most of the software used with our board is purchases software
(most on a per-seat basis) albeit at a reduced rate. Still when you are
purchasing for 2-3-4 thousand computers the amount becomes quite large.
