Once again, exactly who is forcing you? Your answer Amelia is that you are basically doing it to your self out of convenient conformity, apart from being locked out from the intranet. Hwo is locking you out? Names please. Do not blame your behaviour on the system, that would make you an irresponsible apparanik, there are always real people to hold responsible for decisions.

You have root control over our own computer, but that does not mean that you have root control on other computers out on the open internet, and that largest network of them all do work just fine as you know, with fully empowered peers. Scaled down to an intranet should not make that any different done right. Someone has made _active_ decisions to build up a bad system within the organization, hwo are these people that want to lock you into a plattform? And since they force you to using software made up of secret code out of public scrutiny, one can imagine quite a lot of spying on high profile info from the plattform controlling part, no one is even allowed to even prove me wrong on that point. This is something really seroius with vast consequences for global politics and control in the world.
