You're talking out of context. The license fees payable on hardware
that can _potentially_ run Windows apply to schools. Even then, only
because the nit-wits that negotiated the contract failed to recognise
implications of the relevant clause. If they had recognised the flaw,
we wouldn't be having this thread, since no fees would be payable.
It simply doesn't affect you or me, as individuals. Well, other than
the fact that it's our taxes that pay for these fees.
