upgrade everyone to xp or better linux and then take away their rights to install other software...also put have your client put a policy in place that any non-business related apps will result in getting fired.

Before she can monitor any of these things legally they must make everyone sign some type of policy that states that they can monitor everything employees do, otherwise they are could get sued for evation of privacy.
