Why should my computer have auditing capability, without my explicit knowledge or me making the decision to put it there? Who is it good for?

- sonnekki 16y ago> Who is it good for? Someone who desires to keep track of a user's key strokes, for example a corporation. This is coming from someone who consents to monitoring every day. While I agree it is not good for the singular, non-ignorant person, I'm sure there's a massive market for "Corporate Consumers" who'd like to save a buck instead of spending effort configuring a system. About having the capability of auditing, I suppose it saves production costs to have one laptop with a switch, as opposed to two laptops with slight hardware or software differences.
