IT's Love-Hate Relationship With Laptops
Ian Lamont writes "Are laptops really as great as they're cracked up to be? We love their portability, and we've been charting the steady rise of laptop sales for years. Yet while many of us depend on them for work, our IT departments view them with mixed feelings. IT managers point to wi-fi configuration, complicated authentication procedures, and eight other issues as making their jobs a lot harder. What else is missing from the list of laptop limitations? What would you like to see in the next generation of laptop computers?"
my linux laptop has never had one virus.
why do your BA's or other *managers need a virus prone OS when the vast majority of what they do is web, email and word processing?
and dont give me BS about hard to re-train these people. you'll need to re-train em for vista too...
