Operating System Standards

Certain hardware is necessary to use certain operating systems or operating environments. When inadequate hardware is used, support needs are greatly increased. This chart defines the limits of hardware/operating environment combinations that will be supported by ITS as well as an obsolescence guideline for OS.
