Invite: One Machine, Any OS - Higher Education Seminar June 3rd & June 17th

FYI from Dane --

Standardizing on a single hardware platform for lab use has never been easier. According to PC World Magazine and Popular Mechanics Apple offers the fastest Windows Vista systems on the market, which helps make that decision even easier. By utilizing Apple's Intel-based Mac line of computers, lab administrators can now deploy dual or triple boot systems and/or choose from over 60 different virtual operating systems to run simultaneously. In this free, one-day session you will learn how to deploy the systems, lock them down and manage them centrally for continued use and maintenance.

We will offer this event twice in Northern California in June. The first event will be held June 3rd at Sacramento State University and the second event will be held June 17th at Apple's corporate headquarters in Cupertino.
