Curious how large organizations are dealing with the lack of tight group policy control that they're used to on Windows, and users having far more options for circumventing any given restriction.

You do know that it's possible to set up tight group policy control on Linux right?

Every major distro has some sort of user control built in, and Enterprise distros like Red Hat and SUSE are actually better than Windows.

No you see, only Windows has the concept of permission groups for users, get chown'd, n00b.
