Educational environments (and indeed anywhere else as well) is:

1) The fear of the unknown
2) Lack of skill and knowledge and indeed confidence to install
3) Lack of available support

A 'Just Works' solution would be very helpful, and will assist with all
3 points, but reliable and prolific support is going to be required, and
soon.
