Mac OS? Windows? Schools have both with G3-Virtual PC combo.
>The Norfolk (Virginia) Public Schools bought 15 Power Mac G3s this year and all are running Virtual PC. In fact, the system is so pleased that there are plans to put a G3/VPC combo in every classroom.
"With Virtual PC, if you prefer Windows, you never have to see that Mac OS," says Ruth Smith, technology facilitator, Lafayette-Winona Middle School. "If you hate Windows, you never have to see it. But the next person using the machine isn't limited by your choice."
Despite some minor glitches, Smith says it was easy to set up using the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit. They "set one up and shot it all the way through," she says.
"So far, we haven't found anything that doesn't work," Smith adds.<

These anecdotal reports are pretty compelling testimony about the iMac/Virtual PC's potential to supplant hardware PCs in mixed use environments. |
