Joel said:There's a difference between something "working" and a bunch of IT
guys being able to get it to "work." Sometimes the IT guys are
borderline competent and don't know what they're doing, sometimes the
WoL implementation is flaky, whatever. But I once worked at a
company with thousands of employees (and computers), and the rule was
that you kept your PC on overnight so that automated backups could be
performed. When I asked why they didn't use WoL, the response was
that they could never get it to work *reliably.*
The question remains if this would happen with other OS as well, because the
hardware is not compliant?
