In my experience a lot of people (normal users) will always ask you for IE and Office, simply because they are use to those programs and don't want to change. (creatures of habits).
I think the solution is perfecting Wine to the point that you can run all major windows application without big problems. (excluding IE that is a virus disguised as a web browser)
For applications that can't be executed in Wine maybe the soultion could be using something like Fusion . But of course, this is not an option for Netbooks because of the resources constraints.... (I don't know if there is something that works as well as fusion in Linux)
I live in Texas (yes I'm shooting myself on the foot with my original comment) and that is why I can say what I said.
I you believe that most of the people in Texas are complex and know a lot of the world (e.g. can name 5 African countries or differentiate South America from Mexico) please come and join us for a weekend you will be delighted!
I live in Texas and I have been working with TEA for the last year. I have seen that type of thinking (and worst) in a LOT of people. Yes, its biased but is my experience so far...
Besides, the TEA admit that their staff (teachers and superintendents alike) is way behind with "computer stuff" you could check that in their communication releases.
Slashdot Mirror

On a totally unrelated note, yo go for A&M right?
The teacher is from Texas... By default she IS unsophisticated!
