You forget the other advantage of having an outsourced IT service that

They can F**k up your work's computer every night with the "Microsoft
security upgrades" etc. and then charge to correct the problem. At one
time they were supplying computers with very large hard disks but then
only allowing a single partition of 20G on which they installed the OS
and all the other software. The overnight upgrade would fill the 20G and
the next morning the computer wouldn't boot for some strange reason.


People never learn...

And I bet the money spent would have paid for several good systems
managers...
