Hi:  Don't you think the grant funded schools need to be reallocating scarce 
resources in some direction other than M$?  When you look at the terms of a 
Gates Foundation Grant, you will find exhorbitant costs involved, in terms of 
administrative reporting, requirements, staffing, etc.  It's pure poison.
