Oddities

It must be installed on a machine-by-machine basis. It is currently installed on coma and mensa, let the system manager know if you want it on any other machines.

Revolution Analytics is owned by Microsoft, so the installation is odd. All the files, including the executables are in /usr/lib64 which is unusual....
