I agree that BYU shouldn't neglect or ignore Windows.  It's good to see
BYU using Open Source, too!  BYU's my true alma mater.  I got my BS
degree there, though it was in Family Science, so I could not speak for
the CS department.  Now if we can get BYU to use OpenOffice and Linux on
the student computers...
