that's a GREAT page.  i do, however, have one suggestion:

take out the editorial comments at the bottom of the page.

your analysis of the microsoft Q&A is coherent, well-reasoned, and very 
easy to understand - but i would bet that any school administrator who 
gets to the bottom and sees hyperbole like "bald-face lies" is going to 
then question the accuracy of what was presented to them, because it makes 
you look like a microsoft-bashing linux fanatic.  while that may actually 
be the case (*GRIN*), i suspect it would make them less likely to accept 
your clarifications - which would be a damn shame, since you're spot on as 
far as i can tell.  (IANAL, either, tho.)

i do think that having some verbiage on how to get help setting up a
non-microsoft OS is a good idea.  perhaps you could add a pointer to
something like http://www.linux.org/groups/, for those not fortunate 
enough to live in the trilug vicinity. :)

and if i were you, i'd forward some info to somebody like esr or eben and
try to actually get some press around it, so there's a chance of said
school administrators actually seeing it...
