> Well I can only speak to my experiences, but given the technical knowledge of 90% users on systems I support...it is definitely worth the cost.

Is this meant to mean they have high or low technical knowledge? Because we support some users with a decidedly low understanding of... well, everything really, and it hasn't been a problem. They still give help desk a lot of grief, but it's because they don't know that windows can be minimized and things like that. Accidentally installing malicious applications or other reasons you'd think of restricting them really just doesn't come up.




Well, there are two groups that worry me: those that don't know Windows can be minimized, and those who believe they're much better at using computers than they actually are. And honestly, the second group worries me more.

That group doesn't represent the majority of users by any means, of course.


Yeah, that makes sense. If I had to deal with a lot of that then workstation restrictions would probably be a lot more appealing.
