Zero Footprint Client

[Robb McCune]

The post "Suggestions for future releases" are right on.
To add to that how about a zero foot print version for
managed users in a corp. environment. There are several
vendors looking at this and I would hope to see Microsoft
add to the list. To add yet another client onto thousands
of machines globally is a headache for me and gets allot
of resistance when I chat with my friends across the pond.
I am seeing almost half of 2nd level calls associated with
spyware on one level or another. The solution for now ends
up being reimaging due to time constraints.

In terms of Bill Gates Trustworthy Computing initiative, this would be a
step in the right direction.
