It's already a done deal. They are preloading BOSS linux with Windows.

The question is, with such a large scale purchase of Windows licences
on Tax payer money, who is getting kickbacks and laughing all the way
to the bank?
Laptop without WiFi is a stupid idea.
Forget WiFi, they will not get even a wired internet connection and
since most students can't afford a subscription on their own, there's
no way to pull anti-virus updates (If I am not mistaken, a 1 year AV
subscription is part of the deal). Students will most likely share
flash drives and get an uninhibited supply of malware. So yeah, stupid
terrible idea!
