these two pump huge amounts into the technology of education.
This is really funny, but this goes back to piracy pogroms by Microsoft. Now people don't believe that there can actually be a free OS.
What is really funny is that between Microsoft and Apple, these two pump huge amounts into the technology of education.
Yeah, but for what it is worth, Apple uses a lot of open source software in their Mac OS X product. They don't hide it, they don't make it illegal to run other software on top of the Mac hardware. They just don't allow Mac OS X to run on beige machines.
I don't think they are creating the mindset that all software has to be paid for, they are not pushing out updates that disable machines because it is pirated. That is a world that Microsoft has created for themselves, and people blindly follow them like sheep.
As far as I know MS doesn't disallow other OS on it's machines either.
I agree with this as well, but this is mainly because I haven't had a good experience with Linux. Although it may seem easy to use it still seems complicated to download programs, and not many programs are supported on it. I would also find it easier teaching people to use Windows as opposed to Linux.Personally I agree with this statement "putting linux on these machines is holding our kids back"

So how much is the the Leopard or Tiger version? At least with MS you can say they get the updates for free. This really isn't a problem for me, but it becomes one, when people insist they have to have the next upgrade even,if their machine is stable.

Same thing, other side of the coin. A FOSS is a free and open Source solution, something that isn't paid for, even if they use parts of Open Source, you still have to have put down the initial investment for their machine. As far as I know MS doesn't disallow other OS on it's machines either.
