It's things like this that make me hate virtually ALL software that
isn't made by Microsoft. Why anything would ever require network
authentication when the user has already been authenticated, I'll never
understand. And if software decides to have its own authentication
methods and exist WITHOUT the option of just using AD authentication as
an option, there better be a damn good reason to do that nowadays.
Why does all software think it's important enough to require its own
security system? Why does all software think it's important enough to
automatically add something to the \run key and have a system tray icon?
Why does all software think it's important enough to put itself in a
user's quicklaunch? And more than anything, why does software providers
think it's so damn important to make the interface all "neato" looking
instead of worrying about making the damn application functional and not
make people waste time figuring out an atypical interface?

I have this problem when users will use their network ID to run apps
that require logins. When they change the password on the network ID,
the app will present the old credentials, hence a bad attempt. Drives
these snapperheads crazy.
