And verily, didst Clogwog hastily
babble thusly:
PC,s with illegal crapware!

Illegal?
By who's warped and ****witted definition?
Oh, sorry, silly question.

I'm very sure it is against the law to install this
crapware on a PC of your employer,

Maybe you live in a country where your employer actually
'owns' you, and can have you killed at will, but........

Other than that, it would only be a violation of some
company policy....hardly illegal......still enough to get
you fired though.

So, at least in the civilized world, I'm very sure you're
wrong.


In my civilized country (Holland), the "company policy" has
to be written down in a collective agreement, employment
contract, which is protected by law.
It's stricktly forbidden to install or use non company
software on a PC, provided to you by the employer.

Yes, I understand, but that does not make it illegal, you can
not get arrested and jailed, you will not be put on trial for
it.

So isn't it.. "It's stricktly forbidden to install or use non
company software on a PC, provided to you by the employer *IF
THAT'S WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE COMPANY POLICY THAT THE EMPLOYEE
AGREED TO*. ?

Please don't shout!

I don't think 'forbidden' and 'illegal' are interchangeable in
this case.

I never stated he has to go to jail, I said "illegal", meaning:
1. Prohibited by law.
2. Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.
3. Unacceptable to or not performable by a computer: an illegal operation.
I'm convinced any employer would fire him right on the spot!
