whitepaper The Penguin Road Patrol0000-00-00 Fairfax Digital
  When Pavement Management Services, the Melbourne franchise of a Sydney outfit, was granted a contract by VicRoads to carry out the annual survey of the road network in September 2002, the company's owner decided that the time was right to begin doing the surveys using video technology. The owner used a video camera and an Apple Macintosh to convince VicRoads that video footage would provide pictures of sufficient resolution for VicRoads to be able to diagnose things such as ride comfort, rutting, and stone texture. What his team has ended up with is a system that uses Linux to run five video cameras from the same kind of van used as an ambulance.

whitepaper Apple Computer Case Study: University of Wisconsin - Madison0000-00-00 Apple Computer
  During the early 1990s, the administrative desktops at the University of Wisconsin were mostly PC-based systems. A few years later, PeopleSoft software was adopted as an alternative to the university's legacy student records system. Since the PeopleSoft application lacked support for the Mac OS at the time, students who owned a Mac were unable to access their financial data and academic records easily. In response, UW's administration installed terminals in both of the university's student union buildings that allowed students to see Mac-based "screen scrapes" of the PeopleSoft student record application. But that didn't help UW staff members who felt more comfortable on the Mac platform.
