Not entirely. Apple has a grant program and gives out macs to certain high schools. I know my siblings school was a part of that program and they all had their own macs starting at 5th grade.

Usually, even in predominantly Mac environments, there's a copy of Windows lurking around somewhere. Perhaps on a server or a virtual machine.

His point is that the stat is misleading. kowen's 100% figure might even be accurate, but that wouldn't mean Microsoft has total control of the education market.

Similarly we see a headline boasting about 22%, when the article admits ChromeOS's real share is actually 3%. Just because one in five schools have deployed a trial Chromebook lab doesn't mean Google's now a big playa in educational platforms. It just means that schools have been given enough subsidies and promises that they're willing to test the waters.

It's is actually just 1 in 5 districts. For that statistic they probably only need 1 or more schools in  a said district to include that district in their %.
