Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Good point. How about a VM?
Who'd know?

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

"they" would know from the controls on the machine. Question is, what would "they" do about it?

New Couple of points pertaining to the corporate setting:
1. Licencing. I'm not aware of whether The Free Stuff would work on Windows. Let's assume VMWare. Is it freely available for corporate use? If not, then the OP would have to buy a copy. Personal copies are not licenced for use at work (i.e. it's not your computer, it's the company's)

2. Most large (and not so large) companies carry out some form of auditing. It'd get picked up then. Licence issues notwithstanding, VMWare (or whatever) probably falls under the remit of "stuff the itdept doesn't want to deal with"

3. If administrator rights on the Windows box aren't forthcoming, then all bets are off; VMWare installs a number of device drivers.

All-in-all, it's probable that this is not a viable way forward, primarily not because of technical issues.

New VMWare can=Free as in beer
Unless you are using ESX. Of course, there's no licensing issue for a Linux-based VM... Heck, you can download 'em pre-made.

Without admin rights, though - MOST solutions are hosed.

New Hmmm. A thought. Does QEMU
