Lets give them the facts and let them choose.
Yep, in fact isn't it Microsoft who say 'Get The Facts?'. :-)At the end of the day, if they really do end up wanting Windows then fair enough, we can provide some some Free educational stuff, in fact we could even provide copies for the kids parents to take away and use in the form of the OpenDisc.
