In fact, you are not alone, and your school is already a special one. Why? Because you had had the chance to tastes Mac!:P As you told us, you school is the kinda technologically oriented school but many, many others are not. Somehow having the adequate no. of computers in other schools would have been the dreams of many.
And you ask if there is a OS monoculture outthere. The answer is of course yes. Most commercially available software can only function in windows and, you know, many local admins, like my school's, are not professionally trained enough to get along with Mac, Linux, let alone BSD. In fact many students out there are also not prepared to work with OS other than win 9x/2k.
More precisly, while you asking for OS multiculture, they would just ask "what good would it be to have more OSs?" The public just dun apppreciate this motive. What can we do???
