The battle that summarizes my day:
They: We’d like the software installed on this. [Presents a used Sony Vaio laptop.]
I: Alright.
They: There’s only 58 megs of free space left on the main drive, since we bought it from someone who didn’t clear off anything.
I: Okay.
They: It’s running Windows ME.
I: [nodding slowly, but still standing]
They: Then we’d like the software installed on this fairly new, tiny, non-expandable HP desktop, also running Windows ME.
I: [weaving under the attack] Hrrurgh.
They: And try to get the wireless keyboard going. We’ve never been able to, and we lost the wireless mouse for it already.
I: Ahhuhmm… [thump]
They: [smiling down at the floor] Humph. We didn’t even mention getting the Boss’ ibook on the NT domain, running a windows emulator, ALSO running the software. What a wuss.

That's nothing. A time like that is welcome out herre between Sept 1 and Oct-15th.
How about the great - Install a CISCO 802.11 on a VIAO. One of those VIAOs that can either have the 802.11 or the CD in and the installer requires both at the same time...
XP Home when you have to have it on 2 domains.
The Easy CD Creator 5.0 uninstall Registry Corruption - 19 error
A 40 gig HD with so much anime on it that BSD VM can't run.
The iBook and windows emulation is easy. If they're on a 2K Server, .NET, Terminal Server, they can use the Remote Desktop Connection piece from Microsoft/mac - It's free!

With Jaguar, you can also hook up to network shares pretty easily and authenticate in. You may need to write some AppleScript to have the connections redone on logon, though.
By the by, if they have Citrix, the OS X client is universes better than the crap they had on OS 9 and earlier.
