We have approximately 400 workstations across the school (including primary & admin offices) and our IT techs tell me the best price we can get is just over $40K (about $100 per machine).  This seems rather high to me and would take a huge chunk (ie all) of the software budget.  I was just wondering if we were doing something wong or not talking to the right people and what others experiences were.
