I'm sending my kids to this school!

I recently read an article about a University doing things a little differently. Instead of sticking with their mix of Apple and Windows PC systems, the college is doing a 180º spin from your "business norm" and adopting an all-Mac policy on the campus. While I rarely think it's a good idea to standardize on any one platform, if you're going to do it, Macs are a terrific option now. Not only can you run OS X and Windows on them, they are virtually impervious to most security attacks.

"[Scott Byers, vice president for finance and the head of campus IT said] 'We think it will save $150,000 directly, in buying fewer units - even though the Macs cost more per unit than PCs. The school, which enrolls about 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students, will reduce its inventory from nearly 1,700 computers to around 1,450 after the change over... 'By standardizing, the IT department should be more productive, ' Byers said."
