"I also like the user application level security feature which allows the admin to create a list of allowed apps for install by a user, no more granting full admin rights to local machines."

Oh boy. That means every time you want to add a program (like a small helper app of some sort) to your computer you have to get permission from the IT department.

Talk about slowing productivity to a crawl.

You mean the "small helper app" that screws up the computer it's installed on?
Then the user calls IT / tech support and says their machine is not working and then lies when asked if they downloaded or installed any programs recently.

I'm very familiar with those "helper apps".

It's always been that way. Actually by allowing users to install certain programs it will make it easier for both the users, and IT people. Before if workstations were secured PROPERLY, users couldn't install ANYTHING without admin privileges.
