| Computer Information...
Class of 2011:
I thought I'd post this very important piece of information regarding computers at Lafayette before anyone makes a quick purchase.
This information comes directly from the ITS website:
<<< ITS has been testing Microsoft's Vista operating system since its release and has discovered several incompatibility issues with Vista and key network, academic, and administrative applications used on campus. For this reason, ITS continues to recommend Windows XP Professional as the operating system for all campus computers. >>>
Just to reiterate, do not purchase a new computer with Windows Vista preloaded. Buy a "Vista Ready" piece of hardware so as to be prepared for the eventual shift in operating system.
FYI, I have already answered many questions of the "which laptop should I buy?" variety back in the "I'll Answer Your Lafayette Questions!" thread (post #69 comes to mind).
Mac fanatics, feel free to ignore this post!
