A good laptop and cell phone is all you need. Keep all of your tools, documents, etc. on the laptop. Also ensure that you can use your cell phone as a modem in worst case scenerio. A PDA gets in the way when you need to do a any amount of typing. Set it up so that the laptop is all you need, at the office or on the road.
i.e. Outlook 2000 won't even start for the first time if the login account starting it doesn't have Administrator privledges on the machine... Bunch of forkin' idiots.
Ok, so you know what you are doing. What about the other 99.99% of the home users that have a computer and use it like an applicance and don't have a clue about patches, updates, etc.?
You haven't bought a brand new gas guzzling, oversized monstrosity of a SUV|Pickup|Minivan yet? How un-American of you not to support the American and Middle-Eastern oil-based economies by doing this! Shame on you!!

The solution is to stick the cell phone up yer back side. Then use your sphincter muscles to dial.

How about faking out the Win32 API call that tells the application if a drive is local, network, CD/DVD, etc. to return bogus info to the application?

Until the day an infected laptop is brought 'inside a secured corporate network', or someone VPNs in on an infected machine from home...
How much $$$$$ and did you invoice Microsoft for the costs to implement this?

Yes, true, but they did that after the cows left the barn...
Doesn't do the millions of Win9X, Win2K, WinXP installations out there any good at all. No, sir, it does not.
You know, it is really wonderful that they did that. Too bad their biggest security related hits where after they did that...

But is the "The Source" 'Open Source' or 'Closed Source'?
Answer: $$$$$
