This is where the ship already sinks. I'll give you the 2 most common
reasons:
- Many clients have PC-classrooms, where such things are simply  
forbidden.

- Windows Vista and security issues make installation and automated  
updates
  a pain. Not everybody is allowed to do installs, they don't have admin
  rights and whatnot.

There is a bad virus going around certain parts of the UK in which the  
solution is to clamp down even more tightly in what limited things one  
can do with computers in schools which are very prone to viruses.   A  
friend of mine over there who manages the IT of a certain school is  
constantly weighing new features vs security problems they may cause  
and I'm glad I don't have that job.   Pretty soon they may just have  
to give up computers completely - a rash statement but the cost of  
doing total reinstalls for 100-500 computers is certainly not fun or  
productive.  Maybe the solution is for all Pascal programmers to take  
an anti-virus oath  - ;)   At least you might not get tarred and  
feathered for making that statement - just a lot of blank stares.
