[Year 12 IT Apps] VISTA and your school

[David Fenwick]

There are many benefits of vista - increased security, faster access  
to programs with search bar, more control via group policy, better  
moviemaker/paint and it looks better -and it runs well on an  
appropriately spec'd machine.
Ask the kids what they'd like and most would say vista because they  
have it at home with office 2007.
Schools should be encouraging use of the latest technology and always  
looking to move forward.
