Too slow sadly. The only software packages that do not require idiot style write access on Windows, are open source packages. Even the latest versions of AutoCAD don't run with a read-only C-drive (except the docs-n-sets of the user, which is writable). If I could, I would migrate all my 250 workstations to Ubuntu ...
