But I think forcing somebody to use Windows ME, especially on a fresh install, for an hour or two is more than enough to give them interest in alternatives.:)
The news came as a letdown for those running ThinkSecret, but their spirits were picked up when Apple served their final notice on nice metallic gray paper, in a design that could only be called "compact, simple, elegant, and effective."
We nearly gave large numbers of people free access to the internet, the best tool for education there is. With a brand new Linux PC from Wal-Mart coming in at $199 --> we almost had cheap affordable computer and internet access for everybody. Thank god the government is saving us from that horrible near-reality.
It's all a ploy to roll out the next step in DRM: Watching your child from BIRTH to make sure he isn't being a dirty digital copyright violator. Beginning at age 3, the robot has begins lecturing on the benefits of DRM, how we are all screwing over the record labels with mp3s, and why he needs to call Microsoft if he ever reinstalls Windows.
It will be great, comrade!
Yes, I have seen 2000 BSOD on a regularly basis, including (funny enough) three times in a row trying to install the damn thing.
If you want BSOD bonus points, walk into an airport terminal and wait for the ticking time bomb to explode.
And please, if you mention BSOD, don't forget the grand poobah of BSOD, Windows ME -- the piece of fecal matter pushed on me by Compaq that led to me switching to Linux.
The University of South Carolina Columbia has Solaris and Linux labs, and has Linux based research objectives.
The Georgia Institute of Technology has MANY Linux labs, and indeed embrace Linux and open source and push for its enhancement. They even mirror many major distributions... including Mandrake Linux.
Big name schools in the US, in general, have a place for Linux and push for advances in Linux. The University of Georgia doesn't count... because there's no education going on there:P

Not that many people watched the Bassmaster's Cup anyway.
