Re: I RTFA and TFPSomeone at the Indiana state capital got a really impressive presentation using pie-charts presented by an attractive salesman/woman, who convinced them to trial technology they don't need - because someone somewhere with a fleeting understanding of technology believed this could bridge the digital divide and make the state more technologically relevant.
But that's just my take, I could be wrong. | |

Re: I RTFA and TFPTo be fair, it seems Indiana is getting it free as a marketing move by Simdesk, so no actual taxpayer money was used.
Still looks worthless though. | |

Re: I RTFA and TFPDo you really think that we will not pay for this one way or other. Do you think this company is not getting some thing for this? I have not dug deep but will and I bet that my tax dollars will end up in this company some how. | |

Might your tax dollars end up there in the future? I don't know. Are they ending up there now? No.* Is it that unreasonable to think the company might give the crappy product away as a publicity stunt? * - If I'm wrong, please show me where. | |

Re: No thanksDone correctly, all personal files will only exist on the User's PC, NOT on the Central Server... I have a similar setup at work, where the Software Applications reside on a Server, but all User Data only exists on the individual Workstations. Done INcorrectly, however...

Nope. Doesn't sound like it. My guess is this company wants to get users hooked on their e-mail addy's & stored documents then, two years from now, they hope everyone will be screaming about losing them unless, of course, the state picks up the tab... | |

junk junk more junkIf you read terms of service of this they can do what they want to with your information. It is stored on there server and this sounds like Big brother big time in Indiana. No thanks on this 6 million junk. | |

Re: junk junk more junkI wouldn't even want this company to have my home address. This Simdesk is no way related to the IN government, and I definitely wouldn't want to keep my personal information anywhere I couldn't control. | |

Virtual MS Office?Sounds like this web "software suite" resembles Microsoft's office bundle. I wonder if SimDesk's web interface also crashes intermittently to simulate real MS functionality?
OK, before you flame me, I'm joking. I have MS Office XP and like it a lot, I just couldn't resist the temptation to barb MS | |
