I just came across a message on RedHat's OpenSourceNow linux advocacy in the classroom mailing list. In response to someone getting a job where they may have the oportunity to install Linux on a handful of systems, a Redhat employee responded:
"Anthony,
Good news on the job. Let me know if you need a boxed set or two when the time comes to throw over NT.
--jeremy"
How many companies would sponsor such a list, let alone monitor it and assist people with boxed copies of their product. Redhat also offers free access to the Redhat network for schools.
I doubt we will see such gestures from Microsoft, other than to protect their monopoly and get a large write-off in the process.
