I agree since 2000 and XP windows is as stable as any other os, I think it got this bad name from Windows ME (which would crash if you looked at it funny).

Linux desktops? Interesting.Originally posted by ClipheadJust one previously and the current client. Another client was exclusivley Sun Sparcs.
My last gig I rolled out Linux desktops to approx 300 retail locations, users were happy with them and they 'just worked'. My current gig we have Linux EPOS is 200 retail locations.Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!Comment

They actually used Mac notebooks for all that stuff. I migrated a few to Windows but they eventually went back to using Macs. An impressive company indeed and I was sorry to leave that contract.Originally posted by DimPrawnSun Sparcs on all the companies desktops. That's an impressive company.
