We should have Microsoft Office on the walk-up computers.

We have as a goal to make nearly all software available on all public computers. 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/ .

It is my understanding that the walk-up computers are meant to be used as look up stations rather than full fledged workstations.
Installing Office on them would seem to defeat that purpose as people are more likely to use them to do coursework.
