I would agree that the windows habit starts in school, except that it
was that long ago that you couldn't find a windows or dos computer in a
school -- they were all Apple (avoid the temptation to say Macs, my
wife's fifth grade class room still has a few IIe's loaded with math
games). That didn't cause an Apple hegemony in the business world, so
I'd say this is a red herring.
