This is a joke right?  While I'm amazed at your enlightenment of how a
computer is supposed to be used, in my case, I'm a consultant that
works from home.  I'm also a hobbyist computer user that enjoys all
aspects of what computing has to offer.
 
I've setup many terminal server environments for clients that utilize
"windoze" (isn't that funny, it's like the OS is sleeping!) that only
allow your Orwellian approach to computer usage, so I'm not foreign to
the concept.  These systems are cheap and extremely fast & easy to
administer.  It costs my clients more to drop a phone on a new
employee's desk then it does to drop a terminal (hence my interest in
voip).  But I digress..

Thanks for the morality lesson, may the sun always rise on your staff.
