I am really not sure why they went with Apple. The school board decided to go that way for some reason. The main cost i am talking about is the team having to buy windows 7 for the students to use on there laptop. I have tried going through Microsoft charity partner techsoup to get free versions but have run into problems with that.

Also having to partition a computer with windows also adds another hurdle for a kids to join the software team.
