Open source is gaining amazing traction in education now.  What will be
interesting will be to see how people start to use computers and
software in education, now that the restrictions of Windows are behind
them.  Systems which network by design, support a range of remote access
options, can display remotely and locally, support multiple logins and
so on will surely revolutionise the way teaching happens.
