My school actually purchased a whole set of laptops for the astronomy classes 
and a program called Starry Night for them.  That (expensive) program, as far 
as I can tell, is basically identical to KStars.  Before I graduate I want to 
show my old astronomy professor a copy of Kstars and see what he thinks...who 
knows, maybe they'll even use it instead of an expensive program that eats 
the department budget.
