Even if they did get rid of most MS products. Some senior guy probabbly fires up windows and installs a dozen search bars.

I knew a guy who served in the gulf, he was pretty high ranking, handled some security stuff. Got a request from someone important to basically break all the rules because important guy didn't want to walk too far from his CHU to make a call home.... but he was high enough ranking so they did it. It wasn't even a far walk.

A "security expert" at a F500 once showed my a web page on his laptop. Only 40% of the page was visible due to his 7-8 search bars.
