May be a dumb question, but does the IT department from most companies/educational institutes usually control what kind of hardware/software they buy, or is it from someone that usually has no clue?
I haven't the slightest idea about how IT departments work, so I was just wondering. I was under the assumption they just work with whatever they are given by those from the top and don't really have a choice.

This has nothing to do with hardware. If they aren't capable of implementing an LDAP-based authentication system that works across multiple operating systems, something Windows (ActiveDirectory), Mac OS X (OpenDirectory) and Linux and others (OpenLDAP) all support, then yes, they are too blame: they are incompetent and ought to be fired.
That's quite a tangent from what you are replying to. I haven't seen a profession of using Macs, but I have seen a statement of him saying he mostly uses a Dell.
"We definitely receive at least two to three calls a day for help with the Macs," Kaleb Cuevas, sophomore psychology major and Computer Services employee, said. "It's usually because of something like the operating system messing up. But it's often because of user error too."
How many call do they get a day about windows pc's?????
and I would also be interested to know what percentage of students have/use mac accounts!

The decline of America is clear here, Im sure most of these fools voted for Bush twice.
Your President is a professed Mac user.

I hate how people expect Mac OS X to act like Windows ...
In a lot of ways Windows is easier to use. For example, Disk Image-based installs in Mac OS X... what the fuck?

How often does the system mess up on a Mac? It is beena long time since I have had to fix my system. A real long time.
Maybe the students at Princeton are smarter than those at Houston U.
