Shawn,
I work at Statcan & we got stuff like this (I think our new time reporting system uses this technique) but it is over my head. Our central IT development unit implements this stuff. I doubt the majority of our IT department understands this stuff.
I oversee a lot of SAS development but my group has almost no interaction with this type of stuff. Statcan does have over 5,000 workstations though & we are all using it. I don't think we have any workstations with less than 256MB & most have 512MB & a small percentage have more. 40GB drives have been a standard here for a couple of years & to my knowledge the specs for this will not be changing this year.
The thing I notice about the Time reporting system is how slow it starts up compared to my other apps but once up it runs fine even with Outlook, SAS, Excel, & word open.
