Combined with Active Directory, Group Policy-deployed .msi files, a reboot script and something that turns on network booting at certain times of the night, you can basically have the entire network rebuild itself every night. When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your* security they're talking about.*

Or, you could expect all users to ensure daily backups....har har har.
