WINDOWS' WORKSTATION DISCONTINUED ON DECEMBER 31, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows ME for December 31, 2002
To support this, we have purchased a Windows XP Professional volume license
from Microsoft. The license covers Faculty and Staff.
Briefly, several critical reasons for the decision to discontinue Windows
ME are:
- Our statistics indicate that the use of ME on campus is minimal
- We are focusing our ongoing efforts on Windows 2000 and XP.
