I know of all this, I live in Norway. I am talking about nationally, not small local SkoleLinux experiments. Macs are only for students on the "Media and Communications" line.

If my previous experiences with the Norwegian school computer systems are correct, this is Windows only. I can't believe that at the same time they are researching use of Linux in schools they are locking themselves harder and harder into the Windows platform. I have nothing against Windows, but lock-in is always stupid, and sadly, as a Norwegian high school student, I see this every day.
