I think it's totally self-serving and counter productive. Redhat made a offer that they will provide free software and support to the schools if Microsoft provides the hardware. This makes some pretty good sense to me. I guess you could argue that it might confuse kids to have to use different operating systems (Linux/Windows/Mac) but I think it would make kids more flexible and knowledgeable which is really the highest object of education. (My 4 yr old daughter knows how to use *my* Redhat system pretty well.)
