Managed Computing is a program that will result in efficiencies and enhance network security on campus.  This acquisition model is designed for administrative units and any other interested faculties and departments.  The pricing negotiated by the Desktop Standards Advisory Committee is extremely competitive, so we are pleased to be able to provide these products to anyone ordering on a University of Manitoba Requisition to purchase.

To ensure stability of University business on Managed Computing systems, IST recommends the continued use of Windows XP Pro until the MS VISTA operating system has been tested with critical University applications. The images provided for all selected models will have Windows XP Pro until further notice. (Jan 23, 2008)
