IT heresy: 5 radical resolutions for 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| IT resolution No. 1: Let employees use any PC
| they want. Give your end-users a budget so
| that if they want something really pricey they
| pay the difference. And if they choose
| something basic, let them use the leftover
| budget for other tech aids such as widescreen
| monitors or special input devices. Offer a
| standard option they can get preconfigured to
| IT's specifications. Certify IT-supported apps
| for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux -- InfoWorld
| has heard that when employees get to choose
| their own computer, as many as a third choose
| Macs, so be ready for that choice. For
| example, you might certify Microsoft Office
| for Windows and Mac, IBM Lotus Symphony for
| Linux, Exchange for Windows, Apple Mail for
| Mac, and Evolution for Linux, and Firefox for
| all three platforms. Be able to support these
| apps in terms of their core features relevant
| to business use.

Dell offers cheaper quick-boot system based on flash memory
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell announced Thursday that it's offering a
| memory module called Latitude On Flash that can
| boot up a computer in seconds as an option for
| some laptops. The module is available alongside
| the option of an existing quick-boot system
| that uses an Arm processor.
|
| Dell's Latitude On Flash module snaps into an
| internal mini-card slot and allows computers to
| boot in a few seconds, using the laptop's main
| x86 processor instead of a separate Arm chip.
