      My university takes it upon itself to upgrade to the newest everything as soon as possible. It has the new office, but not a single computer has Vista. There are a few Linux machines, but the clear winner these days seems to be the Mac. Why exactly is Linux too difficult for the average user, or is that just simply the excuse people use?

      It's just so different. If you know how to use it it's not that bad (I use it) it's just that setting things up is difficult. The synopsis package manager is nice, but anything not included in that has to be compiled and added with a bunch of sudo commands. That's difficult for even technical users. Using it is fairly easy for everything that you would use a Mac for.

      My school had the new Office too and I pushed for them to leave some computers with the old Office and they eventually did.

      Yeah, I think every school has Macs for some reason.

      Actually, I'd bet that the Macs that they are replacing the Suns with will have Vista on them. I haven't been told that, but that seems like something my university would do.

      Ok.

      I was talking about elementary - High School, I would think colleges would have a mix of OS's.

      You'd think they'd have both (Mac and PC) too. They should learn what they will need later in life. Different professions are dominated by different types of computers. I remember when I was in elementary school there was a Mac lab and a lab of Apple IIs. Ah the Apple IIs, I loved Oregon Trail and Dyno Park Tycoon
