Yes, and if they forced you to use netscape microsoft could sue them for pushing their own browser on their customers.

Ill just test on the schools computers since every reboot wipes the HDD back to default programs and settings. =) DEEP FREEZE baby! This is one thing AOL and REAL networks cant f-up.

Each restart eradicates all changes and resets the computer to its original state, right down to the last byte.
Protect a single, hundreds, or thousands of computers across a distributed LAN, WAN or over the Internet..

I beg to differ. Deep Freeze's level of effectiveness depends totally on the IMPLEMENTATION. Very, very, VERY few places are going to have the time or bandwidth to let an entire computer reimage over the LAN every boot.

College network? Dunno, but theses delete settings off every reboot. Even folders on the c drive are gone. The network drives only have write permission to teachers homework folders.. other than that i dunno.
