Um how do i put this, win 9x and me are the most popular forms of windows, so when somone makes a generalisation that isent refering to the NT string of windoze just assume thats what they mean. Don't blame Linux zelots everywhere for pointing out flaws in a flawed system. (BTW by flawed system I am talking abot the NT strains of Windoze as well)
well I don't know about the states but here in canada we have much, MUCH higher taxes abot 50% higher then you guys, plus are government is pretty damn incompetent when it comes to essential services, Like schooling and healthcare.
ok here in BC Canada the public school teachers just voted %91 for a strike and I had a little chat with one of them, and he told me that after all his bills are paid at the end of the week he only has like 50 bucks left, so i can understand how some teachers would be pissed if the government started giveing the students perks and not them. But I belive that technolegy enriches the lives it comes in contact with, so giving the students laptops is a good idea in my opinon, but the teachers should gain some control over what the students can do with the laptops.

I disagree, computers are fairly easy to learn, espesialy for kids. I know that most 12 year olds won't understand the inticises of Linux, but im a certain they'd be able to use mandrake-linux, after only a few weeks of using it.

WINE does not require windoze and windoze cost's about 5 times more then $99.
I think the governments primary job is to protect us, health care is part of that, The government should defineitly be involved.
