We will not post a copy of the XP CD to the network because you "need to install components."  The components that are missing are missing for a REASON, genius.

Also, stating that "if you have to bring the CD over in order to do this then never mind" probably wasn't the best idea you've had today.  Unless you think I'm brain dead and wouldn't notice that you want the CD without me being around to see what you wanted to do with it.  That was, in fact, breathtakingly stupid.

What components are missing that a user could possibly want? Solitaire?

Games component (including Internet games), messaging clients (which wouldn't work anyway), and the like.

Or, they have a personal machine they want to build...

You, kind sir, win an internet(s).

Complete with tubes.

Cute.

Fortunately, our environment is either a) locked down enough that people can't do that (easily), or b) no one here is stupid enough to risk it.

The last machine I found crap on got said crap removed with extreme prejudice after consultation with Boss.
