M$ UK has a large website dedicated to flogging their "licences" to the 
education sector:

http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/schools/software-licensing/licences-for-schools.aspx

Arguably, of course, Microsoft has been complicit in the wrecking of computing 
in schools.

Businesses tend to use M$ Office - and have made noises about wanting school 
leavers to be already able to use the damned thing (as if it is difficult, or 
something).
Schools have complied - and M$ has graciously flogged them licenses at a 
"special rate" - as if they are doing them a favour.

Its all crazy, since by the time kids leave school, business computing will 
have changed yet again.

Have a read of:
