Yes, but

That's on the home user. They're their own administrator... until Vista comes out, of course; then, it's going to take a sacrifice to be able to do just about anything. But the fact remains that if they're stupid enough to forget their password - or worse, to leave it stickied to their screen - then they deserve what happens to them. I charge $60/hour for home calls, so keep it up, guys! You're going to put my kids through college.

As for the business environment, basically, if you let people use this, then you're on your own; like I've said this whole time, it's admin installed. While I admit the call would have been funny, it would have been impossible; the look on my bosses face if someone brought up installing this would have been hysterical to watch.

Besides, we already DO have secure personal folders. It's possible to do even without an outside program. Standard NTFS security.

Here's something we're all missing: it's a free download... yet anyone that downloaded it had to pass WGA, the "optional" program? BS Alarm! Was this program even installable on 2000 (where WGA doesn't exist)?
