IT Bods

My dad works for a Uni, and does a lot of work outside of the office. However the IT department have decided to network everything. For him to open microsoft office he has to do it through the network! It takes aaages to download and install every time, and means he can't work on trains/planes etc. Why oh why would they do this? (the new system won't allow him to open his pre-existing installation of Office)

Why oh why would they do this?
Cause they are trying to be clever and save money on a licence, eventually they will realise it doesn't work as M$ will still want their cash :rolleyes: Get him to talk to the IT dept and explain what the problem is, they may sort out a local install or not as the case may be

another option is if he is able to install apps he wants on the computer to go n download open office. the free alternative to the microbloat rubbish
