Operating System Descriptions

GVSU Academic Computing supports Windows Vista  and a Macintosh environment. 

The Standard Windows Vista Environment is a lab environment where all of the specific departmental applications are loaded in Vista.

For Macintosh Environments, software is loaded on the hard drives of the Macintosh computers.  See above for locations.

How to use the Macintosh Lab Environment
