Re: "Received a computer" "He also installed Dropbox"
Given licensing issues, data protection issues and security issues, everywhere I have worked has had very strict rules on what software is allowed or not.
All too often people will say, "but it is free, I use it at home," yeah, home fine, but actually read the license and it is only for personal use, you can't use it for business without buying a license or professional support.
It is nice that your employer is a little more lenient. Although, working in IT and responsible for licensing and security, I'd prefer to deal with our locked-down model.
