That would be the question.................................... only advantage i can find is that they have magnetic charge points... i work in a school and these laptops are used all day everyday... i started working here after they were bought... no one actually knows why they were bought...

ok so there isn't any legal reason then... just personal preference i hate the fact that i've got 30 brilliant macs all bogged down with xp but the powers that be won't buy any more software to make the macs work on server 2003... if there is a free way i'd love to know i've only just started in my role here and i'm a lil stuck when it comes to combining Mac's on a windows 2003 domain...

I've just signed up on here to ask about any other schools that are using Macs with XP... I have 30 Macbooks all runnning XP Pro without any hint of Mac OS X... Is there any other reason to keep OS X installed apart from it runs better than XP? I've not had any problems with running the Mac's apart from imaging them... I use Ghost to image to a removable HDD atm.. only problem is that everytime i image a Mac it takes about 1hr 15min to complete...
