While I was trawling through Net Applications' operating system share trend data for the past 24 months, something struck me. June 08 marked a big month for Linux. The OS saw the largest increase in market share for the whole 2 year period - a growth of 0.12%.

That's been my stance for a long time now. Teach how to do a skill not a brand of tool that performs that task. I can't remember what brand of hammer I first put a nail to wood with and I've never required that same brand of hammer to attach two pieces of wood since. If I by Brofasco nails, I don't required a Brofasco branded hammer to use them.
Schools are a very traditional and backward thinking institution though. Teachers may start with all the passion and enthusiasm imaginable but eventually, they are just trying to get through the school year and make it to retirnment. Just regurgitate the lesson plans from last year and mark the papers.
Bah.. teach a kid to use a computer rather than teaching them how to use a brand of software application.
