Give us a serious alternative.

If we were given an alternate OS to use in the education sector i would accept it and if it works effectively praise it. Untill then i feel all the anti Microsfoft has to be dumbed down.
The point im going to make is say something like Ubuntu is a lovely OS in its own rights but would it work in the educational enviroment? My encounters with IT teachers in primary and secondary school have been diabolical bar one, infact i refused to take my Gsce in IT due to poor teaching ( I now hold several technical quailifications), and as a result i doubt that teaching staff would be able to cope with a change over as they have struggled with Microsoft OS's.
If there was a clear answer i wouldn't mind articles such as this but until then it is getting really tired.
