The single "pro" that I can think of is the ability to run Reader Rabbit and KidPix, but that's political, not technical. The con's: God, that could take up a book! There's the cost of maintaining those Windows machines, the cost of anti-virus subscriptions, the cost of Deep Freeze, the threat of BSA-style audit threats from Microsoft, the cost of upgrading your PC hardware every 2-3 years.... Just use K12LTSP, David. You'll be much better off. And I say that as both a former MCSE and former Microsoft employee. --TP <div class="moz-signature">_______________________________ Do you GNU!? <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> Dave Haley wrote: <blockquote cite="mid45ED8C2D.6000808@poland-hs.u29.k12.me.us" type="cite">I am looking for information concerning using Deep Freeze with WIN XP (service pack 2) as well as using Anti Virus software, such as McAfee A.S.A.P.
