Wow. Great article. I'd suggest a 2nd version of this same article once everyone has added comments. Before I call in the aging PC death squad I take 2 different approaches ======================================= a) is it a home computer or a unique computer in a business or b) used in a bigger network, and can easily be re-installed or recloned

I've setup over 2 dozen labs and I've avoided a lab with thin clients due to the problems noted by another user here. I've avoided setting up thin client labs because I've used a lot of other thin client labs, and they frequently have bugs. The problems are the same if your thin clients are Windows or Linux.

Hey Mr./Ms. Dwelp. Great advice on demoting most user logon accounts to "limited" in the control panel. I forgot that tip, and that it costs IT staff time to walk from PC to PC and apply the fix of "limited" user accounts.

There are many things in gcal that are not in other Microsoft offerings - gcal has an iphone application and more devices soon no doubt - gcal can be seen by anyone on the internet simply by sending them a link.
