Welcome to the real IT world, Obama staff

 

According to the Washington Post, the incoming U.S. presidential administration are upset by the outdated Office running on Windows, no Facebook and no IMs.

 

Well, welcome to the real world. That is exactly how the IT in 95% of corporations and  organizations works.

Here is list of most of common IT policies

• No Facebook, what so ever. Facebook is simply blocked within the corporation network. Sorry and now get back to work.
• IM clients, most likely ports are blocked. Unless it is for work.
• Macintosh is not supported at all because those internal web apps doesn’t run well.
• Blackberry, now get this, President. You could have blackberry and get emails on your corp. Blackberry. But there’s no way to install 3rd-party apps and they are blocked by IT Policy!
• Office 2007, Vista? Not right now, because IT department has to test them before rolling out.

Basically that is exactly how people work everyday. Now stop being a baby and go back to work!
