Hi I'm trying to embrace the future at my company and have allowed users to install their apps while logged into the domain.

do other people think there will be dangerous apps released on the app store, like VPN Tunnels and stuff like that?

I don't want to take it away as its a fundamental part of windows 8 but on the other hand I don't want to open up our domain to dangerous apps.

it's a tricky one.

Its certainly possible. Did your company go through that phase 10 or so years ago of people installing free screensavers? :rolleyes:

No I wasn't at the company 10 years ago.

So I guess I should block it on our firewall then. Shame but I guess it's too risky.
