Computer license, otherwise you get an internet appliance.
id say allow them up to an iMac, that way they get a real computer do use things like word or open office on but still present a much lower danger to the internet then the typical customer using windows.

*im not promoting Mac, but lets just say ive encountered people already while working in ISP support who dont even have XP servicepack 1. i wish we had a way to sense that and lock them out of anything but windows update when they are that far behind.

They want online without the hassle to secure themselves then they get Webtv then.

Lol, WebTV. They still offer that? People actually use it?
*looks around in confusion*

*comes back after a few minutes of research*
You do realize that someone will manage to enslave the WebTV's too? Even if they don't, no one should have one of those stupid things. Desktops/Laptops are so much better. They do more, anything you want, in fact.

Even macs are included in the whole bot net problem, so don't try to play that card They are less but that's because less people out there use them.

Re: Pull them off

Macs, and any *NIX machine in general is an overall bigger target because it's more likely to be connected to a broadband connection, and the stability and versatility that a *NIX system offers is much more powerful.

Rootkits, rather than viruses, have been our major problem and they are more or less universal across systems.
