How did you reach such a conclusion? It wasn't very scientific, only based on some experience I had. As far as students hating Microsoft and using linux instead, I think that's fine. They'll learn soon enough when they have actual work to do other than tinker and hack. Don't know. But the univ I came from had unix boxes left and right (SGI, HP, SUN) for their students. PC labs were for those without a word processor at home. This certainly used to be the case, I agree. But since I could get a 300Mhz Pentium II sytems that would crush an O2 or Sun workstation, and for less than half the money, and use them for desktop work (word processing, spreadsheet,etc), more schools are buying NT workstations. P.S. I liked my Sun workstation in school, too.
