No shit someone's getting a kickback. That's probably how my school got Time's "School of the Year 2000" award, but that's how the world works.
Almost every school gets something like this. I go to the University of Southern California, and we have at least four well-stocked 24 hour computer labs. Even at $34,000/year, there isn't enough money to pay the sticker price for all these machines. We have plenty of Dells, Sonys and Suns. I'm guessing that USC was involved in a "kickback" [otherwise known as educational pricing]. I would love to have that Dell Inspiron 4000 added into my tuition. but, then again I don't "refuse to [accept reality] on principle."
While I am not specifically in favor of any OS, as I think holy wars should be fought over Gods, not software, I think it is funny that as I type this, 4am Pacific, www.Linux.com is down, and crashed my browser as it went down while I was reading it...

MS is working on full 64 bit support, I believe Whistler will have a native 64 bit version, and it's already in alpha. -bZj
