While all current Bryant-provided laptops are fully Vista and Windows 7 capable, concerns relating to specialty application compatibility and providing a unified platform to our end users has caused us to remain with Microsoft XP for the 2009-2010 academic year.

We currently plan to have a Windows 7-based student laptop image available upon request by the end of 2009, should any users wish to upgrade.
