I wonder what the feed back from our European friends on the list will be like. Do you happen to know what is used in their schools (or gymnasiums). I don't mean universities, or IT schools, but their regular "high schools". What do their students get used to using? One of te key to MS success in the US is the near ubiquitous presence in the school systems [yes some schools use Macs, but increasingly it seems many more are moving to M$. I know; I've been working in the public school system for 28 years. Only the really interested computer types can be pursuaded to try linux (I have a few).
