Story: Lazy employees cost businesses dear over PC usage
Posted by: Roberto Maietta (Saturday 7 October 2006, 2:00 AM)
Incredibly biased article.
Many PC's are left on overnight due to company policy. There are a variety of infrastructure tasks being run after hours that need PC's to remain on, such as virus scans, patch delpoyment, application deployment, policy checking, standard build checks, and so on.
Add to this, there may be grid computing methodologies employed, the list goes on.
The least you could have done was to balance such a one sided article with some aspects of what actually happens in the real world.
Very unimpressed with the "reporting" here.
