If Ubuntu / Linux gets well entrenched in education it is a serious threat to Microsofts business, hence the heavy discounts provided to students and Universities.
Yes the above statement may come across as a Linux zealot (ooh evil Microsoft), but if students are happy using Linux and Open Office, when they move into the work place they will bring that knowledge and understanding with them.
Looking for a fresh gaming experience? Forget the big budget game factory hype machines.

Why not drop 0.5% of the federal budget on government backed renewable energy research. Innovate now and get off fossil fuels before there is a real global energy crisis. The market is not going to solve this problem without a large amount of government of spending because fossil fuels are currently too cheap, and once they become scarce - it will be too late for the world economy and perhaps the planet.
As an added bonus there will then be clean, cheap energy available for the exploration of space.
