Given my last rant about installing servers in schools vs. "clouds" you can probably guess my thoughts about installing servers in classrooms and computer labs. It blows me away that Microsoft is promoting this as a "2010" solution!
One of the videos shows a teacher copying assignments to the "public" folder on the "multi-point" server. The irony is that a multi-point server is shared by a maximum of 10 students - there may be 30 students in the class! The teacher may teach 6 class periods with different students in each. So she sets up public folders for each, and possibly protects them so students aren't accessing folders of other periods. Microsoft evidently has no respect for teacher's time.
Guess they were afraid to call it a "mainframe"
It's not a mainframe, that's for sure. 10 students, maximum - at a time.
In the last decade it was a bad idea to install servers in schools. In this decade they think installing servers in classrooms is better? Crazy!.
