This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

As mentioned in some of the replies above, they're woeful machines.
And the HPs that we've moved onto are indeed, not much better.

I found out recently that every machine we buy comes with Windows 7 & Office 2010 pre-installed.

We then wipe it, and install Windows XP & Office 2003.

Genius!
Our trust has abandoned (sorry, paused) its rollout of Win7 & 2010, leaving us in a silly, half and half state.

They've done a similar thing here with email systems
Consequently, half the trust is on one system, the other half is on the new one.

And guess what? The directories haven't been shared, so if you're trying to email someone on the other system you can't find their email address O_o
