Without wishing to get off topic or 'cross' Dan, VMs rule the world now-a-days. In some organisations, you don't get a desktop, you get one or more VMs and if you want to work in an office, you sit down to a almost dumb workstation and connect to your chosen VM.
I've seen really forward thinking organisations where, if you want a new VM ("I fancy trying AR System X.Y"), you go to a web page, select the requirements (512Gb if you want ITSM, 1Gb for pure AR System :-), press a button, make a tea and take delivery of a new server. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
