Hi all,
There has been a marked decrease in the usage of Windows on the YNiC provided stimulus PCs over the past 3 years. This appears to due to three main factors:
1) We no longer provide licenses for Presentation and E-Prime on our machines (Windows specific packages)
2) There has been an increase in the number of users who use their own stimulus laptops (and plug them into our projector & response box)
3) YNiC has invested heavily in getting the two most commonly used stimulus packages (PsychoPy and PsychToolbox) running efficiently on Linux.
Maintaining a managed, networked Windows build for stimulus delivery use is a significant overhead for us. Due to the lack of use of the Windows build on our machines, we are *proposing to **remove Windows entirely from our stimulus PCs* during our next planned system maintenance scheduled for September 2018.
This is your opportunity to *e**xpress an opinion or concern* if you have any - please send your remarks to:

Windows stimulus PCs
Thanks,
