FWIW, I'm a software engineer for a multinational company. Our IT is outsourced to a, well....different multinational IT group. Our developer machines are almost entirely Windows XP and user privileges are tied down pretty firmly by that IT group (i.e. even developers don't have admin rights on Windows) . Personally, I think it's a Good Thing. To a limited degree, I apply the same policies at home. It works well for me and I hope I've given others a friendly tip to enable them to be that little bit more secure.

Happy to. I like my job. Do you ?
