I am a "Technologist", a Technology enthusiast that is usually the one that is called should a major catastrophe strike an end user. My saga of computer rescues becomes a plot that is ever so thickening, if not only for the fact that's it's becoming incredibly easy for hackers and malicious code writers these days to invade personal property to find, seek, and destroy. Each year, virus and hacker threats increase, and in addition the damage trail left behind is something of a problem. Not to forget, a majority of "PC Panic" cases I've come across are often times the same common, "major" problem.
The problem with that is that it is hard to realise in a large corporate environment. Surely it's easy enough to use different Os's for different operating system, but I would hate to teach all my accounts how to use *nix for their daily accounting functions!
Then again .. it's easy enough to use a web-based client interface for most applications (though it would be rather cumbersome to do your accounting in a single browser window).
