Story: Government agency tells schools to shun Vista

Becta has it spot on

There is no reason for school to roll out vista currently. The expense is surely unjustified. I think any argument over exposing our kids to the latest technology has no real substance when you are talking about a desktop OS. The desktop has stayed essentially the same for years and any child is going to feel pretty much equally at home in front of Win95 to Vista, OSX and any graphical Linux system.

In any case by the time our kids leave school we would ‘hope’ that there has been a more significant development in the desktop environment than graphical presentation.
