In Oregon, MS was trying to insist that any donated PCs had to be kept with the OS they were sold with (i.e. don't put Linux on them!) AND, if you didn't have the original license material, you had to purchase new licenses and you purchased for everyone in the school, whether they used a computer or not. AND you purchase licenses for Macs, because they might use MS products.
