    Hey somebody, please mod this up! Parent post is not true! Anybody can go to Apple's web site right now, navigate to the education store, pick their (or any random) school, and verify that the education price is $69. I hesitate to accuse someone of deliberately lying, but I do wonder, because an essentially identical post was made about Tiger the day it was announced, and of course turned out to be false.

    If you want a high quality, consistent, graphically appealing operating system with desktop search, office suite, iPod integration, better Windows compatibility (including NTFS mounts and Windows codecs), and plenty of graphical glitz, download Ubuntu 7.10 at ubuntulinux.org.
