Keeping the debate alive, a reader writes into Bob Lewis about previous posts discussing the viability of unlocked PCs and stating that, when it comes to workers downloading apps onto their PCs, "the reward that something might happen there of value is far out weighed by the risk the corporation faces."
Yes, but no so fast, Lewis asserts in Another take on opening PCs, or not. And while it's true that risks associated with random, aimless activity far exceed the potential benefit, that's beside the point.
"All I have to say is that if your employer hires employees who spend most of their time engaged in random, aimless activity, the company has a much bigger problem than the risk of a computer virus."
