Interesting. That way we have to dismantle everything - bridges, buildings, power plants,... All of these spent tax payers money for some 'proprietary' machine

  Bridges, buildings and power plants are not schools. We don't allow companies to place ads in schools for good reasons. Why should we train people to use their products for free?

    it's a fair point worth debating. Should we as a society bankroll the marketing for companies? Imagine how people would recoil at the thought of cigarette companies having access to schools in that way. I don't know that I fully agree with the premise, but it does have merit.

    Because these products are well designed and built - 100% value for money. Many school students aspire to work in the companies which build these software, or go and work in places where these software are used and those companies expect students to know these.
