[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 6505200, member: 455902"] Besides the affordability, corporations should like the [B][U]in[/U][/B]ability to install most 3rd party software packages as a valuable property. It greatly reduces the cost of IT support, if employees or students are unable to misconfigure anything. I remember the horrible mess during Y2K days because PC and Mac users had installed so much software over the years, and the corporation had no way of knowing how that stuff was used, or if it might be critical. I participated one weekend erasing the hard drives and personal files on 275,000 PCs and pushing an install of standard software; same for everybody. You can control that behavior with tough policies, but enforcement costs money and it breeds ill will with the employees. Much better to give employees a device not capable of doing many of those things. Remember that most employees are clerical, not technical, so their legitimate computer uses are more narrow. The military is even more strict. They forbid removable media, and trowel wet concrete into all USB ports. [/QUOTE]
