Yes... he feels able to leave a 7-year old, in lockdown mode, on a machine with no Virus protection. This does not say that an adult, with full privileges should consider running that way. It's saying that the lockdown mode (a reduced functionality mode unable to install software, launch system tools, make registry changes, restricts users to a white-list of websites, etc) is good enough (in his opinion) to keep a PC "safe" when used by a (presumably) non-malicious user. > And I notice IE7 being shoved down my unwilling throat this morning, > hurrah :-( Good.
