LanSchool is a pretty good product and not a bad price it is sold by the
classroom for roughly $500.00 per classroom and who's to say how big your
classroom is 30, 50, 100 computers. Works well with RDP thinclients.

Anyone out there experimenting with desktop video conferencing. I would like to
start experimenting with using this internally for staff but it needs to be
simple to use with control on the client side of things so that they don't feel

The trial you download is just for PCs you would need to get the final
version. You'll have to buy the software. The owners manual which you
can download shows how to set it up for RDP.

I just heard back from the claims people for the Microsoft Settlement.
The reason I received a letter saying Microsoft could not find any
Volume License records is because all of our volume licenses were
purchased through someone else under the Select Agreement(i.e. Software
Plus), therefore, all

Actually, I just talked to someone about the same thing. We bought many of our
licenses during that time period from SoftwarePlus (now known as Softchoice).
I was not impressed by the person talking to me. She seemed to be more
confused about the whole thing more than me.

I called them today and Softchoice told me he was going to look into it and see
if he could find more proof to satisfy MS. Evidently, the info. that we sent
originally for SW Plus did not satisfy the claim people. Softchoice sounded
like they have been getting calls today.
Manson Northwest
No confusion from my guy. He said that the proof I submitted the first
time around should be enough. They are just doing the VLs purchased
straight from MS first. They have rounds of claims lettered. A,B,C...
The Select Licenses are in round C which hasn't happened yet according
