A Fortune 500 company I know was doing this on 12,000 Macs globally since os7 I believe. Anyway, 3 guys managed the whole thing plus a whole slew of mac servers. Well, of course, the IT department stepped and decided to "bullet proof" it by switching to Windows. The 3 person team is now 36 people and the mission critical apps that were supposed to be migrated 7 years ago still aren't. Since switching to PCs they continue to struggle with uptime and numerous times have brought in Microsoft. In the meantime a new group has sprouted and is supporting ~6000 desktops. Their management group is 4 people and their uptime is near 99.9%. The biz owner has is pushing to move all the PCs back to Macs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
