Sure I get that. But do you ban employees bringing their phones into work where they could be playing games too? This is a little bit like employers who ban employees from using the Internet for personal things, or making personal calls on a work phone, or IT pros that set GPOs, lockdown the screen saver and ban employees from changing their desktop background, just because they can. Trust goes both ways, and any good employee would get fed up, resign, and find a more enlightened modern employer.

Your first statement, ” but as an industry we need to be comfortable with letting go of the old way of doing things and embrace change before we’re all out of a job. But I don’t really agree with the comparisons that come afterwards. I don’t think not wanting to give employees a work tool with games preinstalled is close to equaling banning personal internet use, personal calls, etc. Banning personal internet use, calls, etc is trying to prevent the distraction otherwise known as life. It’s pretty futile and can be counter productive.

But giving employees computers with games preinstalled is creating additional potential distractions. And, what’s the upside? I’m not sure I understand. I think that helps make my point.

Zero time should be spent on eliminating games from work computers because they shouldn’t be installed in the first place. From Windows Workstation to Windows 7 Pro, this was the case as games were not in the default install. Action had to be taken to obtain the games. Now action has to be taken to “un-obtain” the games. Probably a zillion? But again, I see a difference between distractions being accessible by an employee who wants to find them and the company providing distractions right there on the desktop.

Think of it this way. An enterprising employee can probably access porn websites from a work computer. So, since access is already possible, should the OS include shortcuts to porn websites on the desktop? By the way, you do realize those games are designed to be addictive? Yes, but as I said, it was not part of the default install with Pro in Windows 7 at least. They could include it in the bits and just require a few extra steps by an admin to make it available. Which is exactly what I do.

I think we’re just going to have to agree to disagree on this. You think it’s fine for games to be available by default on business computers. I think they should not be available by default. I thought about decrapifier but we shouldn’t have to use this, enterprise, and even pro should just be a clean plain OS.

It works but requires alteration after every major update. Same process with , removed all the crap from the image in WDS, deployed it out and it all came back!! I then used some easily Google’d scripts to remove the packages, and then captured that newly stripped out image – and so far, none of it has come back. I was very vocal in supporting moving over to Windows 10, in work and outside of work – but it really is a joke for business imo.
