One thing you need to for sure is run conduit. Now, I'll be the first to tell you, I spent a LOT of money on wiring my house. But the conduit has saved my butt on several occasions. Especially when running a new cable to an outside wall of the house where the insulation is. Without conduit, its a real pain!
I decided to use the closet under my staircase as a wiring closet. All of the cat 5, fiber, RG-6, and telco comes into that closet. I have a 19" wall mount rack where I put my patch panels, DSL modem and switches (all rack mount).
All in all I spent about $6K wiring my house. But the funny part is that when I put in 802.11b wireless about 8 months ago, I hardly ever use any of the cables I put all over the house. Most of them were for my notebook and IPAQ. But now I just use the wireless NIC. It's just so much simpler.
It would be pretty hard for MS to sell them IBooks. I assume other companies were competing with different products.
Apple has always gone out of their way to win school bids. I remember when I was a kid I wanted an Apple ][ just because that's what the school had, and that my friend, is what Apple wants!

MOD THIS UP! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS!
Also, MS is in the right here. There is no reason not to rule in there favor.
If this is the best news stories slashdot can come up with, I'll just start reading the enqiuerer.

Just remember... conduit is your friend.

Whatever! Just because its not the normal Star Trek style means it sucks? I don't get that. If it were any other show would you say that? NO!
I personally think it was well done.
