Uhh, how does Billy Boy make 'a couple of hundred dollars for every Mac sold'? MS Office isn't installed as a default, IE is free, as is OE. Unless you're talking about the USD100mn or so of non-voting Apple stock MS bought in that deal a few years back. Apple has a market cap in the billions of dollars. MS's stake in the company (even assuming they have standard open market investments in it) is not significant, and other than standard income from stocks, is not cash generative.
That is nice - MacOS (from version 8.x onwards, IIRC) has the ability to turn any open folder into a tab - just drag it to the bottom of the screen, where it turns into a tab, and when you want to use it again just click on it, it slides up, and slides away again when you click somewhere else. I miss that feature in Windows and Linux, and looks like I'll miss it even more in OSX, as Apple, in their infinite wisdom, has removed that feature, at least from the DPs and Beta.

Just in case you want to migrate your iBook using students to Linux I can recommed LinuxPPC 2000, or Suse. Both work really nicely on the little book.

The Mac version of Helloworld was an Applescript - a standard, really useful and wildly easy scripting tool that is included with every Mac.
What was your example using?
