Does MICROS~1 offer special training that turns otherwise normal human
beings into these kind of people?
Since I'm part of an IT department that locks things down, I can tell you
it's basically self-defense. Malware people just _love_ windows. The
best defense against it is to keep the hamsters from running every little
gew-gaw they can get their sticky little fingers on. Even then you have
to worry about drive-by attacks via banner ads in "safe" sites.
Even though it's not my baliwick to deal with this stuff (I'm a Pick
geek), I would much rather see boxen locked down than spend 90% of my time
scrubbing machines from the latest malware infection.
