Until these vendors break into EDU it’s an uphill battle.

In WA, every school has Microsoft smart boards and laptops running windows. Kids grow up using it and when they buy their own computers they aren’t going to choose a small boutique builder running an unfamiliar OS they won’t know how to use right away.

Apple has a lock on a lot of EDU as well, and the iPhone is so ubiquitous it’s an easy sell to get folk using other products

Those systems look beautiful but it’s a minority of people that will make a large purchase on something like this.

It would be a surprise if Microsoft didn't have WA locked.

You think kids have brand loyalty to the vendors that scam/muscle/bribe their way into the classroom?

Most of the EDU software is trash, the incentives are all aligned to spend billions on acquiring the contract and close to zero on execution and most of these kids are traumatized from sitting in a classroom with some clueless dope at the front yelling at them to IPad IPad IPad algebra
