Ideally, you WOULDN'T install the software on every PC. The software would be installed on a Citrix Metaframe server ONCE, which would then be accessed through a Citrix client installed on each of the desktops. This has a MAJOR networking advantage: the PC then acts as a terminal which...

I have multiple Dell PowerEdge server models (14XXs 23XXs 24XXs 44XXs). To put it kindly, I will never purchase a Dell server again! Disks, tape drives, raid controllers, batteries, systemboards, backplanes, floppy drives have all caused problems (within first year of purchase). Hard disks...
