I've seen people actually using this: 1) The PC, loaded with any security contraption you can think of and severely underprovisioned in RAM is deemed user-worthy by IT if it boots in 15 minutes or less. It may take 10 min from desktop visible to can actually move the mouse. 2) Work day start and end are logged in a web application, requiring a running PC. 3) Shutdown takes just at long. 4)Sleep modes don't work. Fresh boot every day, or weird crashes will haunt your whole working day . So how, as a worker drone, do you avoid adding an hour of working time just waiting to start and end the work day? Very predictably, once end users found out the firmware based browser, there was no stopping them. And then they found the browser could surf to sites without said security contraptions blocking them.
