I agree... if you modify your Windows 7 install and it violates the EULA, Microsoft has every right to say sorry... you violated the EULA, we're not supporting it. Same goes for a bricked iphone. I also would not expect Intel to support a hacked CPU. That being said, I think it's a crappy way to

I think this has some very broad reaching implications. If Intel is able to mass market and provide multiple levels of the chip at specific prices, so that when I pay for a 350.00 chip I get a 350.00 speed, and upgrade as I want. I don't have a problem with that. The spirit of my purchase is

All of what you're doing is employee management that should be the manager's responsibility. You should be informing management that employees are wasting resources, or providing reports that indiciate whether or not employees are following policies. Managers should be then following up with

You can run them on a 2003 server which has the GPMC installed. It doesn't have to be an client desktop system (but it does have to be a 32-bit system) . I imagine that Process Monitor (SysInternals) will be useful in narrowing this down further. *ASB *(My XeeSM Profile)
