Facebook also offer accelerators for their services.

Choosing an Appropriate Operating System
As an IT consultant, I have clients who want to stay on the leading edge of technology but
don’t have the money to replace all of their equipment. This is where I have to convince
the client that it is better to slowly migrate their equipment.

I understand that if you are reading this book, there is the strong likelihood that
you are getting ready to install Windows 7 in your organization. But since not all of
your machines will be able to run Windows 7, it is important to know the minimum
requirements for Windows XP and Vista.
