The biggest problem *I* have with NT's C2 configuration is simply that it
turns so much stuff off you can't do much of *anything*, even standalone,
because all the applications (even Microsoft's own applications) expect to
have write access in all sorts of undesirable areas.

Hell, you can't even print if you don't have write access to the print
spool directory, because NT doesn't have a setuid facility.
