Aussie School Claiming First To Windows 7
I have no idea whether or not the sign guy at Arthur Philip High School in Parramatta is right in saying that they are the first school in the world to have Windows 7, but if they are – kudos! All other schools now bow before your new Windows OS-owning greatness.
[Thanks Ben!]

This is in reference to qualifying for the governments Digital Education Revolution program, which provides ICT equipment and infrastructure to schools. This round includes Lenovo laptops built with Windows 7. Other qualifying schools have already, or soon will be able to claim the same. I think any kudos should be aimed squarely at the DER program.
I think you’ll find that it’s part of the government scheme for computers in schools where they are giving a whole heap of lenovo 9″ laptops to kids with Windows 7 Enterprise on it. (However it it only build 7100 (RC-build)).
So it’s not actually the final build of windows 7 running on these things yet.
Not sure if or when they are updating them to the final release.
When we roll out windows 7 this week ill email you pictures Gizmodo (the RTM Win 7) kthxbai
“First school with Snow Leopard!”, now that’s an achievement worth posting on a billboard.
FASLE!!! I have had the final version of Windows 7 installed at school since it leaked. So ha!
Any viruses yet?
*cough*CTHS*cough*
Go to the schools website and have a look around. On most of the pages there is a Made on a Mac label on the bottom. And the icon for the pages too!
@Mike: Arthur Phillip has the first round of laptops that do have the final release (RTM) of Windows 7 installed, hence the sign out the front. They were delivered on Friday.
