8. No, IT people are famous for making up false excuses to

disallow employees from using certain software, usually blaming it on security issues.

Most (if not all) Fortune 500 companies have policies in place that say employees cannot use ANY unapproved software because of "security risks".

In reality, it's because they have no way of controlling what software the employees use, and they might install something that has spyware in it, or a virus, etc.

I used to be one of those IT guys :-)
