  11. corporations use them because most companies run software that is "exclusively" IE compatible the change to another browser would only be for web surfing and what company willingly allows their employee to freely browse the web?

    if you create an image of your computer with the apps already installed, it takes no time to reimage the system

    technically they are not allowed but they are logged thru the server; of course certain sites and keyboards are filtered out
