have mostly been a PC school up to now so we are looking at possibly utilising Windows
Xp and Mac O/S on the dual booting Macs but we are tossing up as to whether we
should not attempt the dual platform and install Mac O/S only. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I look after about 500 student and 100 staff lappies here - and in spite of a
school policy to the contrary some recalcitrant students use MacBooks. <br>
<br>
We have a Novell network etc, and as long as the Macs come to me with Win XPSP2
on either Bootcamp or Parallels I have little trouble installing what we need
to get them on the network and all that implies. <br>
<br>
My impression is the Bootcamp ones take ages to get to the stage where Windows
starts to load (or to get to the OS choice when you hold down the Option key),
but from then on are ok. My only gripe is the lack of a proper touch-pad - ie
one on which taps works, and has a right-click.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
