Unfortunately it's not as easy as that. While, yes, ideally the IT people could install those programs in 10 minutes, in a lot of cases their hands are tied. At the HS I was at, the computer teacher was constantly uninstalling firefox, et al. that students had installed because it was a violation of the school district's contracts with Compaq/Microsoft. The district had a deal with the two companies such that the schools in the city received cheap computers, so long as we didn't use competing software like firefox.
