  1. How will this be cheaper? by threaded · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If I have a big pile of windows machines I can employ cheap admins to point and click all day long to keep it up. With a solution like this I have to have specially trained staff, i.e. expensive. There would have to be an enormous saving on staffing levels to make it worthwhile. Yet, then I'm in the situation of say one staff member leaving causing a major headache when it comes to finding a replacement.
