RE: how do you get the most out of a school pc?
TBH, if schools really want to limit what the students do, they can't do worse than Linux. First, Linux is basically free, and distros are so cheap anyway. Then, you can commission someone to write a new window manager that really does lock down the system as necessary. Enough freedom to do work, enough limitation to prevent misuse. Coupled with Linux's better-by-design security and it's flexibility, and you've got a good deal.
One downside - you'd need to teach everyone that there's more to life than Windows.
