I liked how the WSJ IT staff refused to comment for the article.
Webster From: Jonathan Link [mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com] Subject: WSJ Reporter thinks IT departments should allow users to install whatever Discuss: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703567204574499032945309844.ht ml I believe this is more an indictment of the low quality of journalism nowadays. It's little more than a rant on his employer's IT policies. In no instance does he discuss the measured effect of IT policies might have within an organization. He makes vague allusions to the productivity gains users could acheive if allowed to use any software they felt necessary to do their job. Near the end of the article he does finally discuss some of the valid reasons for constraining users ability to install shiny new software in order to be more "productive." ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
