I can see where you are coming from with that. However I don't think banning all laptops because a few idiots want to play WOW during class is the right thing either.
I ran into this issue at my school and had a few professors get frustrated by students with laptops. However we talked about it in class and came to the determination that the people who are using laptops to screw around are only hurting them selves. And besides whose paying the tuition? This would be one thing if this was High school but not college.
This may target "your nephew who does your computer stuff at the office", but it sure as hell doesn't target COMPETENT IT professionals.
Fixed that for you.
I have always considered experience more important than CompTIA certs. Not to take away from the ability to get these certifications but I found the 3 years of IT experience in internships I had accumulated before graduating with my BS in CIS to be a more valuable asset.
The majority of older people I know are still on dial up, and for the most part have no idea what broadband is. There are going to be allot of confused people when this fianally goes down.
I use Windows 7 as well and so far really like it. However I find that its fun and interesting to play with different Operating systems from time to time.

I still can't believe anybody but the IT department had access to this, and better yet no one in the IT department thought this might be a bad idea...
