I wouldn't want to work in an IT department of a company where setting 
the policy of what is acceptable code to run on the computers I managed 
was any of HR's business.

If your "acceptable to use programs" policy is ONLY governed by an HR 
policy then YOU HAVE MUCH BIGGER PROBLEMS.

There ARE technological solutions to the "what code shall we allow to 
run on this machine" problem.  Sadly there are not more and better such 
solutions but there are some such solutions and any corporate IT system 
not devised without their use (i.e. _most_ corporate It is systems) is 
an inadequate system...
