A few years down the line, when PCs are further restricted and users exploited
(privacy, for example, not just nags), this will turn out to be a case of more
than just cost savings and trouble-free computing.
Many businesses think about it only in terms of cost while forgetting how
nervous some people are while using software that makes roughly 4 out of 10
part of a botnet (risk management needs to take data theft into account too).
