Less IT people needed, means:

Less career advancement opportunity for them, less budget for them, less job
security, less old computers to throw into the trash, (CO2 concerns?),

AND

Macs are now bilingual in various ways. Intel Macs run Mac OS, and Windows, and
easy to switch between the two OS's.

AND

Shouldnt schools be on the cutting edge of technology? Historically, what is being
done with the Macs, will be done a few years later on the Windows machines.....
