I'm sad to say, but I'm not sure how long this is going to last. At
least in the CS department, 2/3 of the dual boot labs were replaced
with "BYOD" style labs with just monitors desks (and it was an uphill
battle to make sure that we at least had a couple of dual-boot laptops
for students to borrow if they didn't have a device for any reason).
There is a very strong pressure to do less and less "in-house" for
reasons of "cutting costs and reducing burden".
