http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/schoolwindowsxp/ I belive that the Red Balloon would benifit from atleast one Windows XP computer publicly avalible, This would reduce the amount of time it takes to achive certain tasks, and allow certain "Windows Only" applications to be used. The only issued that seem to be stopping this are security and usage. I belive that the security is not an issue if you know howto set it up properly. I also belive that the machine would of definatly be used reguarly by students in the Red Balloon, but this would be unlikely to result in arguments like "who's turn is it to use the machine" because most of the people surveyed have said they would still enjoy using the Linux and Mac machines aswell. I belive after surveying students and staff at the Red Balloon that the demand for Windows is high. I therefore ask you, Doug, if you would atleast run a few week trial, starting after Easter, of ONE Windows XP machine, and I willing to provide as much help setting it up as you want.
