Re: Employees buying software for their company?
"Google showed the way with Chrome early on when it became possible for a user to "install" it without local machine administrative privileges."
Yeah, it mysteriously appeared on our whole network one day, including MY computer. I immediately set a group policy uninstalling it, blocking its install, preventing it running if present. After a land grab like that, Chrome is totally unwelcome here.
It also took weeks to undo the damage, since Chrome had set hooks into everything and Uninstalling didn't remove them. Stupid things like users clicking a PDF and getting a warning that Chrome could not start because it had set itself as default for PDFs. Horrible company, away evil beast!
