Oh? As I recall, UNC Chapel Hill has at least one "Microsoft
Scholar" on the payroll and is opting to force every student to
buy a computer that runs a suite of Microsoft's software.

I wonder how much Gates and Microsoft are donating to the college?
And if we'll find out that the state got a particularly sweet
deal on software? Hmmm....
