Keyword: Advocacy, Why Macs Are Better This tidbit is from: An EvangeLista Who Wishes to Remain Anonymous Recently the company I work for, a large electronics company with literally thousands of computers, about 60/30/10% Wintel/Mac/UNIX, made a decision... Employees are no longer allowed to do self-installs of Windows or Windows NT. To get W95 or NT, an approval process must be followed and a fee paid to the IT services provider. If you do a self-install and experience problems, you will be charged a "penalty fee beyond the installation fee", for the IT provider to come and fix the problem. Mac users? "This does not apply to Mac users. Mac users may continue to do operating system self-installs." OS 8.1 is currently available. |
