There once was a time when computers were essentially a tool used to get work done and you only needed to worry about them when they stopped working. Now our computers are more like living beings that need extra care; between software manufacturers rushing products to market or people finding ways to exploit them, software updates and new versions arrive at an increasing pace.
To help stay on top of all of these changes and better prepare you for these changes, ITS would like to provide a quick reference to the previous, current, and future products. If you do not see a piece of software below that you are interested in, please contact the ITS Help Desk.
