[OPLINTECH] Phoenix not rising

[Bell, Ken]

We simply have a policy of not allowing programs to be installed on public machines. We do what we can to allow access to a site, but we don't allow any installations of programs.

After about 15 years of configuring and locking computers for public library patron access, I find today the University of Phoenix sometimes requires the computer user to have local administrative privileges -- "for required software installations". Example was a Shockwave error needed on a Phoenix course. Personally, I think this sucks canal water, and I'm curious what others have come up with vis a vis Phoenix, et al. 
Currently using CleanSlate on Windows 7 with Envisionware PCReservation and LPTOne. Had been using SteadyState on WindowsXP, but last year the library decided it wanted to "upgrade".
