At last, some sense from a Government agency about IT in schools:

News report
http://www.cio.com/article/171450
"British schools should not upgrade to Microsoft's Vista operating 
system and Office 2007 productivity suite, the British Educational 
Communications and Technology Agency (BECTA) said in a report on the 
software. It also supported use of the international standard ODF (Open 
Document Format) for storing files"

BECTA's ful report (pdf):

(Time for Ubuntu members of parent-teacher associations to offer more 
talks/demos in schools and at parent's evenings?)
