You thought of it, someone over at MS most likely were told that
"locking" the OS from installing
software not on their "nice" list IS as crime - only if they get
caught, that is.
Microsoft has little to do with this issue. Any operating system used
in a corporate network environment has to support permissions in some
manner. This means the system administrator can allow or deny a wide
variety of things.
I still remember my permission info, and got a refresher when I started with
web pages and in the old days I had to set my own permissions of the files
that I placed in the net, after I placed them on the net.
But can you really can deny by file type extension? or by name, or a
naughty or nice list?
Well, they can do almost anything these days, plus I forgot (thank the
stroke)
most of my NT server and security stuff.
So, they can exclude all executable files from being added or executed
if they are not on their white list? or are on their black list?
