[Web4lib] Windows Steady State

[Phillip Whitford]

In the libraries we support we have been moving to Steadystate replacing
Centurion Guard/Cornerstone over the last several years as we replace or
upgrade PCS.  We use it on desktops, the servers for NComputing thin
clients, and loaner laptops and netbooks. The latest version of
Steadystate is a big improvement over the original product.  It is easy
to install, configure, maintain, works well to protect the pc, and it is
free. On the downside it slows the boot time of a pc considerably if you
have the disk protection feature turned on (and you will want that on)
and you cannot centrally manage it. You have to put hands on each pc to
work with Steadystate. However, you can set it to automatically apply
windows updates.  All in all a good product.
