It's not quite the same if you are talking about students. Developers
and engineers probably get plenty of leeway on what their desktops look
like. I don't think I'd be doing that for students...especially if they
are in grade school and you have to teach them how to use the computer
to spice up their homework/presentation/whatever.

Agreed on that. Too bad you cannot build a cheaper computer with the
same aesthetics.
