Hi:  Seul.org is a site that encourages teachers, administrators, and parents 
to visit their site, for reliable, conscientious devotion to educational 
software and applications and projects like the ISO Project.  With that in 
mind, and a review of the article in today's Register,

http://213.40.196.64/content/4/25085.html

It is a legal requirement that pre-installed operating systems remain with 
the computer for the life of the computer.
- --------------------------------
This is the first sentence at the web site of the Puyallup School District.  
M$ is running completely mad on this level.  What this does is set schools in 
such a defensive mode, they cannot take donated computers from other than 
"approved resources".  It's simply devastating whatever opportunities for 
schools to make informed decisions.  I think it is critically important that 
seul.org think about how best to provide accurate, reliable, informed 
information on this issue.  Anyone have any thoughts?
thanks
