New South Wales Traffic Authority Switches to Macs

Posted by pudge on from the whole-lotta-macs dept.

MacGyver writes ""In what may well be Apple Computer's largest coup in the Australian enterprise space, the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) will deploy 1200 G4 iMacs across 140 registry offices." This isn't just a Mac story: the RTA statement noted, "The Apple rollout is a continuation of RTA usage of open standards-based software and systems. The further adoption of open source is being undertaken to provide more choice of vendors and to guarantee RTA systems are providing value for money."

    That'll happen as soon as the rest of Slashdot stops holding the instability of the Win 9x series against Microsoft. (Currently typing this from an Win XP machine with a 91 day, 18 hour, 5 minute, 14 second uptime, give or take a few minutes as I'm double checking what I type).

    I've found there are fewer memories longer than that of a geek annoyed...
