Every time I read about spyware infections, I say to myself "why was
windows configured to allow new programs?" But it occurs to me that I
don't really know for sure if that's possible. Are there any departments
on campus that have users configured with strong enough restrictions that
make spyware not a problem, or is that simply impossible (or highly
impractical) on windows? Not being a end-user sys-admin, it's easy for me
to fantasize about how I would configure user workstations to be able to run
only the applications necessary for business requirements, and I know in
the real world people want to be able to download the blah-blah plugin to
play this year's "santa's elf bowling" game....
