Great Value
With Mac OS X, schools experience high value through simplified administration, a shortened learning curve and open standards, saving costs in administration, training and software customisation. Mac OS X adds even more value with over 300 innovative new features including powerful accessibility, collaboration and content management technologies. All these new capabilities add up to a more productive and engaging learning environment.

Highly Compatible - Even Runs Windows
Mac OS X fits easily into any existing computing environment. It offers extensive Windows compatibility, letting students share and print files and easily access Windows networks, without additional configuration or costs. Mac OS X runs the latest education software, as well as productivity software such as Microsoft Office. And if one special application is needed that only runs on Windows, your Mac can run Windows too! With the Boot Camp feature, VMWare or Parallels, Mac OS X and Windows can run in harmony.

Multiuser Friendly And Easy To Manage
Mac OS X is ideal for multiple users. Configuring user accounts, home directories, network settings and applications couldn’t be easier. With a simple setup, teachers can use the parental controls feature to manage, monitor and control the time their students spend on the Mac. A new content filter takes a quick peek at websites before they load and determines if they’re suitable for students. If not it blocks the sites from view. Teachers can also create a list of specific websites they want their students to visit.

Designed With Security In Mind
Mac OS X is built with extensive security features, giving educators the option of controlling student access to questionable websites and chat buddies. Plus IT departments have a lot less to worry about - Macs can be configured with an automatic firewall that never advertises its presence on the Internet. These security measures protect your network from viruses and malicious attachments and help ensure the integrity of sesitive files.
