You can log into 80% of the desktop world, that's portable.

Please understand that in product USE portability means the the number of computers a user can use.

Depends on how the machines and your network are setup. I can take an hour to setup everybody's NT account (actually you setup the groups not the individual accounts) to push down upgrades when they logon, most Windows versions now default to automatic upgrade so unless you change it the IT department spends zero time doing those upgrades. Harware is tougher, but at least the entire company isn't shutdown while we upgrade the hardware, just who ever's hardware is being upgraded that particular minute.

Actually its closer to 90% but thats still not portable, no matter how much you wish to ignore basic IT terminology it does not charge the real meaning of that terminology.

Have you ever worked with redundant web servers, heartbeat failover, or clustering technology?
