Wilkes University announced yesterday that it has pulled the plug on PCs in favor of Macs, saying the move -- which actually began last year -- will save the Pennsylvania liberal arts college more than $150,000 while still letting students and faculty continue to run Windows applications.
Touted as one of the first colleges to mandate a campuswide shift from Windows PCs to Macs, the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., school wasn't a bastion of all things Apple before the decision, said Scott Byers, vice president for finance and the head of campus IT. Macs, in fact, were a minority.
Rather than take bids from the usual PC suspects (Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co.) as well as Macs, Wilkes decided to go all-Apple because the new Intel-based models and the BootCamp dual-boot software -- the Apple Inc. software is still in beta -- would let the school reduce the number of machines campuswide. "This is an aggressive technology refresh," Byers said.
