Probably not a surprise.  I used to work for a business which
would definitely not have wanted people installing anything, and had done
something highly protective at boot level to stop that happening.
Businesses do have security needs, not least in relation to protecting
personal data.

So it may well not have been just vanilla Vista that was in place.
