That's all well and good so long as the company's IT dept hasn't
installed an audit program that routinely reports what software has run
on the machine. I work in such an environment and found it best to
leave the machine well enough alone even though I'm a part of the IT
dept.
Remember, the machine belongs to the company, not the employee unless
the employee has been granted permission to install software. OTOH,
it's easier to ask forgiveness than to receive permission.
