This isn't strictly true. I work in education and for a large part of our state the network and operating environment is managed by the education department, but services are largely left up to schools. This means we're left with IE9 as the default web browser but lots of students use Google Docs for their work (not to mention staff). I know other states look at or are using Docs across the board.

- zarify 13y agoNo. The story I've gotten when I pursued this with the department is the update cycle is too rapid to bother and automated deployment too difficult to manage. The kids that use them tend to install Chrome themselves since it will install into their profile and they don't need permissions to the rest of the system. A couple of the kids use Firefox Portable. Since a sad number of our staff (and a fair few students) have trouble just logging into a computer, this isn't really an option for the masses.
