I wrote Brian Nichols last night, and I'll be happy to share his answers when and if I get them.
I'm mostly concerned with user freedom. While the move might make things technically difficult for Windows users, they are not going to surrender anything that Microsoft has not already claimed by EULA, and technical measures. Window's poor security record also makes the plan sound reasonabe. The same things can not be said of GNU/Linux and plans to administer those machines would be far more sinister. There is no justification for trying to administer GNU/Linux machines owned by students. Plans and intent, those are the issues I hope Mr. Nichols will answer. What I hope to get here is a technical understanding of the issue. That includes how it's really playing out in the field. On Wednesday 26 September 2007 2:08 pm, B.
