My father is head of security for our local police force, and has put up rules against the use of things such as iPods and USB data sticks to avoid leaking critical data.
Two words: "file ownerships". Smart users won't lose anything. Stupid users will learn. Eventally. After having been complaining to their sysadmin for the nth time.
...Well, choosing to ignore the complexities of the legal system doesn't guarantee they ignore you. For example the MIT license has no disclaimer of warranty...
True, except for the 'THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND...'.

So... When you completely strip Windows, you just might get it to work on an older pc. Obviously just downloading and booting a light Linux distro is much more work. And, yes, those have GUI's too.
And M$ isn't the leader of UI design, that title is still reserved for Apple.
And why do these so called "Cool Kids" need flash drives?

The jokes really write themselves.
Seriously, though, I'd store inciminating stuff on something I could get rid of more easily than my hard disk.
No, the rest of us just hug our favourite Linux distro's.
If only it were death switches... Natural selection, back with a vengeance.

Maybe whoever modded it insightful was trying to be funny.
Which kinda reminds me...
One teacher of mine did the Google trick and found... my own website.
You thought Stalin would have something like age prevent him outliving Linus? The KGB has a Helsinki branch...

I trust Linus' Law. I think most people will edit pages they find obviously biased.
Leak ahead. Lag ahead. Sleep instead?
