LSC Desktop Support covers Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows XP operating systems.  LSC, in conjunction with Wellcome Trust Stores, can provide supported desktop and laptop workstations from stock by the next working day.

A standard workstation configuration is available for both operating systems with a wide range of the most popular software pre-configured, including Microsoft Office, Novell, GroupWise, ISI Endnote, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat Pro.  Specialist scientific software is also installed and additional licensed software is available on request.  The full list is available here.

Users do not have administrator rights on workstations, but if this is necessary, this must be requested with permission of the Principal Investigator and use a separate username.

Windows Terminal Servers that allow access to Windows applications and desktops from Windows and non-Windows systems are available for each Division.
