Look, I'm not saying all kids are going to scream for joy and poop their pants at the site of a Ruby interpreter, but is there *really* anything the "Windows" kids will be missing out on by running Linux - even if it's just to give those few kids who would use it a chance to code?

Actually, they'd be missing out on Visual Studio Express. Honestly, VSE C# is the place I start people out on now. It's free, it's robust, it has a whole lotta library love, there's endless discussion about it freely available on the web, and it gets results easily.
What more do you want from a learning environment?
