Robin, I am sure that they must have checked their licence's and found out they hadn't got any newer one's than 98. Can't think of any other reason. You can put your pen (mightier than the sword) down and hopefully not have to fight when you explain that it does not cost a penny.

I'm using Linux at work in a university department for the usual office stuff and as a local FTP server (though I seem to be the only person who makes much use of this). I use LyX for my own academic writing and OpenOffice for correcting/commenting on student papers (I've set up a series of styles and macros for this, which makes it a lot easier). However, my boss has just informed me that there is a new policy requiring all teachers to use Windows 98. War may be declared.
