Thank you Calvin Ross for introducing this topic on LM_NET, I was unable
to join the discussion on Sig.EDTECH because I caught the discussion at
the end of it.
I've had few problems with providing both platforms to students in our
junior high school Media Center, other than the fact that students need
training and direction for either platforms, when it comes time to save
their work to a particular directory/folder and other tasks. I have
noticed that even students who have computers at home often cannot
perform simple tasks. However, rather than be concerned about confusing
students with multiple platforms, I believe it is essential to offer
both, and especially the Windows platform.
At the high school level I would think a school would be quite remiss
 ;-) if they did not offer the Windows platform to their students.
