So what CAN they do on the laptops? Just give them a typewriter, or something running Linux (cheap shot, I know, sorry in advance) :o)

If it's your laptop why would you agree to let ANYONE put software on there besides you? If they're school owned that's one thing, but otherwise..... Just run a VM app and blow away the layer they install it on :)

I believe they are provided by the school. Hence "Norwegian high school students can now use state-provided laptops during exams"
