Right.  I probably should have mentioned that: it's one of several
things I was talking about when I said it's "designed for home use and
unsuitable for deployment in a mult-user public-pc environment".  

This isn't just because it's not Microsoft Word (or whatever) and
hasn't been thoroughly tested on large corporate networks.  No, I mean
that it is *by design* not suitable for use on public computers.  The
people who created the software did not intend for it to be suitable
for such an environment.  So it isn't.
