RE: Buyer beware, Ubuntu will get you kicked out of school!
I think the majority of you posting in this thread are rather inconsiderate.
Don't expect anyone to exhibit the same level of computer understanding as you do. Suppose you knew nothing about automobiles, and ended up thrashing a gasoline powered automobile by tanking it with diesel? Yes, the comparison is pretty far out there, but I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate automobile savvy people having a laugh at your predicament.
I don't think it is an unwillingness to learn from her side, but more that she doesn't know where to look in the first place.
Also I don't understand why Microsoft is to be blamed for what happened. Dell chose to put Linux on the brand of laptops. MATC chose to make Microsoft Word a requirement for its online courses.
The only thing Microsoft is at fault at here is making products that are used by the majority.
Sure, there's Openoffice. But not everyone know about openoffice, or where to learn more about it. Also openoffice cannot handle the newest text file format used by MS Word, which maybe also could have posed a problem.
