Re: [FW1] MSN Messenger




It's the everlasting discussion about:

a) who knows what an employee might do using company equipment that
the company might get sued for.

b) who knows what opinions an employee might express using company
equipment that the company might not like.

c) who knows how much time an employee might "waste" on things that
are not strictly controlled in their employment contract (such as
arranging to meet with friends outside office hours).

d) And best, god forbid, the it could happen that MSN opens up a good
number of wormholes and spreads viruses like there was no tomorrow. 

Sorry, couldn't resist it, but some of the reasons for not allowing
services are at times "interesting".

ttfn,
Alexander
