There is no point tackling MS software head on in schools. Mostly it

In Victoria, IIRC the public schools spend around $10 million on Microsoft
every purchase cycle. $10 million isn't 'practically nothing' when you
multiply it out to the private schools (who pay mre per unit) and across
the country. I expect something like $50 million going to Microsoft from
edu.au.
