Thanks for the information, Mr. Rishi. So, I enrolled in some courses at the community college this semester. Cyber Security (for certification) and Python coding. For $350 any Texas resident can take two courses for $350. Sweet!

IBM deploys those employees computers with their own Linux image with the tools, software packages, corporate spyware, and networking constraints. Also, read this months 2600 about a former IBM net tech who writes about working for big blue over a decade ago and the spyware packages the company had in place for its employees. In the corporate world I suppose I am okay (mostly) with company spyware and constraints if the item used is company property. I do feel, though, that there should be total disclosure by said company to the employee about what is being done with the asset. I think all computers companies should stop this practice of crapware immediately and just put out a stock OEM image on the pc. Include a CD ROM in the box with all the trial where and enhanced services should the consumer desire this garbage. Or, plan B, have an icon on the desktop that allow the buyer to double click that installs a generic OEM version from a hidden partition without the crapware. Every 4-5 years I have to buy my mom, who is 85, a new PC. The first thing I do after running Windows updates is to remove all the crapware and legit programs that will only distract her.
