This information is intended mainly for users of workstations within the Department of Computing. Windows Vista runs on workstations in the student labs, and on machines installed in the last year for staff and research students. Older machines used by staff and research students may still have Windows XP; please contact us to upgrade these.

Reminder: all home directories are now mapped via \\fs-homes, all Unix /vol areas via \\fs-vol, and all printers via \\fs-print.
