I do not believe the Department of Education requires us to move over to 2007 or 2010. Their papers are even set so that one can use Open Office and Microsoft Office. There is a problem in that I do not believe it will be possible to get Office 2003 in the future, so we should phase it in. At my school we have both versions on the system and the learners may use which ever they wish to use.

Have started my Grade 10's and 11's on 2007. Using 2003 for my Grade 12's. It's good to try and keep up with current trends. While I think Windows XP, Vista, 7 etc are overrated, the reality is that it is what most organisations are using and often we get the kids who are seen as "hopeless" and I want my learners to be able to find work, create work etc, so I like them to be as prepared as possible. It means using what is generally used out there, and I have Open Office which I give to kids (don't want them pirating etc) but it doesn't measure up to MS Office (overall) - just my opinion.
What is the general feeling regarding Open Source.....since the MS Agreement is ending with the Department of Education in June 2010.
