I wonder what they are doing that this becomes a huge concern?
I surf and work on the net most of the day rarely do I ever have a worry about this.
MY 19 year old son spends a lot of time on his computer surfing the net. I have to clean his machine up periodically but I know where he is going and I have told him to stay away from the sites as they are buggy and crappy.
So again my question where are these folks surfing that they have to be so worried about this stuff?
Many folks I know have had the crap scared out of them by a bunch of fear mongering.
I belong to a Service club and we have a large number of senior members. (out of 22 members 6-7 do not have email.)
They will not let us manage the club on line as they have had their pants scared off of them that their information will become vulnerable if we do so. (None of their private or personal information is ever up there so they have nothing to be sacred of.)
Restricting rights? Most music stuff I do is from my own collection or Audible Books so again what is all the problem?
I know that publishers are the ones pushing very hard on copyrights. We just put out a new hymnal two years ago, and 80% of the work that was done was on the legal side securing and getting copyright permission and how we can allow electronic access to it.
So if you want to deal with restricting rights deal with the right culprit, Congress, not a Puter manufacturer or software manufacturer who is trying to fulfill and follow the law.

we call it total cost of ownership. I find that with clients who use Windows a large part of the conversation is malware protection and restricting rights. This leaves little time for things like building productivity and creating new capabilities.
