Been looking at the demo and marketing on thinstall's website.

They say
With locked down computers, people are unable to run ActiveX and Java. And
without Admin rights end users are stuck.

I run an environment that secures end user public devices. Do they really
think I would disable ActiveX but leave USB ports open ! I mean come on....
Am I missing the point here ?

Also in the past I thought that admin rights were not needed to install the
citrix client. OK last time i tested was on NT4 with client version 7...
