I am very glad to see Asus have a booth here at NECC. For those not in the know, Asus makes the ultraportable eeePC machine that I am evaluating for work. Of course it runs Linux, as do all of their machines, so that makes me happy. I really see this trend in education continuing, as school districts look for ways to cut corners. While one MS license does not sound like much, multiplied by 100+ computers (per school) in a large district, plus licenses for an office suite, and other proprietary software. Phew! There is your budget, without upgrading your hardware.
