It works pretty well; the glitch is that it negates
our no OS purchase advantage, because you need a legit
license to use IE.

Well, not likely to be supported yet; we only need a bit
of nudging to fix that.
As to whether or not they work; that's probably more of
a 50/50 proposition.

So far, not a heck of a lot. Some Jumpstart;
Acclerated Reader is reported to work. We're
hoping to rapidly change that, though.
