Story: Government agency tells schools to shun Vista

So?

Exactly how do pupils need to know how to use Vista? Sure, IT students will, but they'll likely have their own systems to play on. But for you average student, Vista will just be a similar desktop with similar icons and a start button that they use for surfing the internet, writing presentations/documents etc. For an 'average, non technical' user, there isn't really anything new for a user to learn with Vista and the change over, from an end user point of view, from XP to Vista is smooth.

The only real beneficiaries from upgrading now (whilst many companies are still performing the XP rollout!) are MS and contractors and I can certainly see more important areas of the education system requiring funds.
