The spec seems to say the computers have to have a hard drive, so
diskless clients wouldn't be included. Also it seems to specify a
high-end graphics card, so put a basic graphics card in the server and
that is excluded as well.

I am toying with the idea of setting up a campaign called "protecting
the unborn child from micro$oft". The plan being to remove their
products from primary schools in 5 years, secondary schools in 11, and
the workplace in 16.
