And it's not all that expensive for schools anyway. With the MSDN AA for High Schools program a high school can get Visual Studio for $399 and install it on all the lap computers, all the faculty computers and all the students who are taking programming courses can install it on their home computers at no additional cost. http://www.msdnaa.net/hsmember/ for more information.

PS: Yes I do work for Microsoft but I thought this was a good deal when I was a high school computer teacher too.
I didn't know....I didn't think they did though, but it's sweet that they do.

Only thing about that is that what happens when your school (and city) is in debt? [darn this city of mine].
