Installing Office on them would seem to defeat that purpose as people are more likely to use them to do coursework.

This means that it will be easier for students to access the software they need to do their work from all parts of campus. Stay tuned as we make progress on this. You can see our progress by looking at http://go.middlebury.edu/software/ .
