Windows

Although we primarily advocate the benefits of open source software usableIT also offers a range of installation and administration services for Windows covering home-user (98, ME, XP Home) and networked (2000, XP Professional) versions. If Windows is what you need we can:

  • Upgrade earlier versions of Windows to XP
  • Partition hard drives for multi-booting different versions
  • Change filesystems from FAT32 to NTFS
  • Setup TCP/IP domains and NetBIOS workgroups
  • Configure printer- and internet connection sharing
  • Setup ADSL/cable modems, hubs and routers
  • Manage user accounts and profiles
  • Assign disk quotas
  • Setup Local Security Policies
  • Setup Exchange Server with Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory

Open Source Software for Windows

Much open source software is now cross-platform and runs perfectly well on Windows:

Cygwin is particularly useful as it creates a UNIX environment within Windows inside which the full range of GNU tools (bash, ssh, tar, ls etc.) can be used. Ideal for users who wish to learn about Linux/UNIX without leaving their Windows environment.
