It would be really handy for corporate and governmental entities if
computer "owners" were reduced to user level priveleges on their own
machines wouldn't it? 

Especially if it is illegal to hack your "own" machine and cause it to
run in a manner not intended by the manufacturer or to run unauthorized
operating systems and software.

I just had a large and tasty lunch and if I dwell on how corporations
and government would like to herd consumers I'm gonna lose it along with
the thinkpad it lands on.
