I’m sure there are corporate users who would like to use this tool but won’t be able to install i. However, I do not think there is any call for posting dismissive comments solely based on that. It does not detract from the value of the tool, for those who can get it.

How is my comment dismissive? I'm sharing my experience of this exact problem we have right now. Users cannot install python on their machines, in an org of 60k engineers, asking for changes to a small group of users comes with heavy resistance from IT. On these machines (most computers in most offices in every western organization) no software can be installed from online, and running any form of executable requires IT/Admin elevation. It's like you guys have never worked in an office in the real world that isn't dev/tech.

  I think your vastly overstating how locked down most companies workstations are. Sure if you work for a fortune 500 they might be but there are 10,000 other companies where that probably isn't the case.

    Really? I work for a <50 employee manufacturer/distributor, and we're pretty firmly locked down. If people want to _update Java_, they need an admin password.
