Well, it could be argued that training students on closed, proprietary 
software from a single vendor puts them at a disadvantage, as they'll 
get locked-in to that software and eventually have to pay for it. "The 
first hit is free" etc. :-)

Agreed. But we're on the marketing list for the LibreOffice project, and 
all (presumably) big advocates of free and open source software, so of 
course we'd like to encourage teachers and schools to use 
freedom-respecting software, rather than locking students in :-)

Cheers,
Mike
