The Perry School District, which serves a community of nearly 10,000 people in central Iowa, faced a common problem in its middle-school and high-school computer labs: the downloading of malicious software ("Malware"), which wreaked havoc on performance and availability. With the help of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Heartland Technology Solutions, the Perry Schools replaced more than 100 installations of Windows 2000 and Windows XP with Windows Vista for use by students and faculty. Thanks to such features as Windows User Account Control and easier viewing of folder contents, the schools have virtually eliminated the performance problems and crashes caused by malware downloads.
