<p>I was looking at the computer page on penn's website and it said that Penn only supported Windows 2000, XP, and Mac OS X. I wanted to buy a new computer for next year, and I wanted to buy Vista.</p>
<p>Does "support" imply ITA knowledge of troubleshooting that operating system, or physical capabilities of use on campus?</p>
<p>Will Penn have "support" for Vista next year?</p>
<p>Almost everyone that I know has vista, and they have had no trouble with ITAs not knowing how to handle it. As far as I understand, ITAs recieved a prep workshop from a microsoft dude.</p>
<p>just about all of wharton computing now uses vista enterprise.</p>
<p>Wharton computing upgraded all of their facilities to Vista over this past summer; I'd expect similar upgrades to take place this next summer in other areas. </p>
<p>With Vista, there were some key areas that kept Penn from supporting it: SecureW2 wireless, some of Penn's proprietary software, and driver support. All of those areas have gotten better and if you buy a computer you'd be best buying vista.</p>
<p>vista. Hahahaha!</p>
<p>Wait, you're not serious are you?</p>
<p>My housemate got a thinkpad with vista. Then she downgraded it to XP. Now she's going to buy a MacBook.</p>
<p>I personally had a lot of issues with my lenovo, maybe her problems were more hardware based than OS. I have heard, thoughm of people complaining about vista. A friend of mine has vista and he just bought pro tools ( a recording software...pretty kick ass actually) which refused to run on vista, even though the minimum requirements were thoroughly met.</p>
<p>Lenovo has reintroduced computers with Windows XP (by popular demand). You can get them at the Penn Computer Connection.</p>
